The Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) System is a specialized membrane testing platform designed for osmotic energy harvesting and PRO membrane research. This system enables researchers to study the osmotic pressure-driven process where water permeates through a semi-permeable membrane from a low-salinity feed solution to a high-salinity draw solution, generating hydraulic pressure that can be converted to electrical energy.
