To properly understand this concept, we must divide the words and first understand what it means osmosis. The word or osmosis phenomenon is rooted in the idea of finding a balance. And applied to the field of chemistry, is the process by which two fluids or liquid contact with different composition and concentration of dissolved solids, and mixed forming a uniform substance. Now, if we separate these fluids through a semipermeable membrane, and let the less concentrated fluid passes through the membrane to the other fluid reservoir, it will acquire a higher concentration across the membrane. After a reasonable time in which we have to try the process on one side of the membrane will focus more water. And to the height difference between them is generated will be called osmotic pressure.

Now, having understood the concept of osmosis, we are able to analyze the process of Reverse Osmosis. In the treatment of reverse osmosis water using a pressure greater than that used in traditional osmosis, and it produces a totally opposite reaction or vice versa. That is, through the fluids traverse the membrane, and the solids remain in their home. This process is used to purify water: fluid passes and is the solid back. Membrane is used for attaining the stream water with high concentration of salt becomes water with low salt concentration. This requires pressurized water to a value greater than the conventional (or osmotic).
