Offshore Water Remineralization Skids

Found this on the net:

"Reverse Osmosis (RO) removed more than 90-99.99% of all the contaminants including minerals from the drinking water supply (see Figure 1). RO removes minerals because they have larger molecules than water. The subject of minerals and RO created controversy and disagreement among water and health professionals. The World Health Organization (WHO) made clarification that majority of healthy minerals are needed for human body is from food or dietary supplementary sources and not from drinking tap water. In addition, minerals found in water can be harmful to human health. The evidence is strong that calcium and magnesium are essential elements for human body (WQA, 2011). However, its a weak argument to suggest that we should make up this deficiency through water consumption (WQA, 2011). Tap water presents a variety of inorganic minerals which human body has difficulty absorbing (Misner, 2004). Their presence is suspect in a wide array of degenerative diseases, such as hardening of the arteries, arthritis, kidney stones, gall stones, glaucoma, cataracts, hearing loss, emphysema, diabetes, and obesity. What minerals are available, especially in "hard" tap water, are poorly absorbed, or rejected by cellular tissue sites, and, if not evacuated, their presence may cause arterial obstruction, and internal damage (Dennison, 193; Muehling, 1994; Banik, 1989)."

Would tend to believe this, since minerals would be required to in some organic form for assimilation, not through inorganic compounds. This is also why many cheap multivitamins supplements have minerals in plain inorganic form which show poor assimilation - almost all of it is rejected. Clear case is when calcium in these cheap multivits is calcium carbonate or bicarb ( plain chalk in layman's language), while the more expensive ones are with calcium gluconate. Another example is when iron is presented as iron sulphate in cheap multivits - almost all of this is rejected.
There's plenty of more easily assimilated calcium and magnesium and other trace minerals in dairy, beans and vegetables. And assuming this is for the Gulf of Mexico, there would be plenty of sunshine for the skin to generate Vit D to aid calcium uptake.
