A producer of agricultural products sought a more economical system to replace the conventional evaporation. Approximately 4500 gal. of water had to be removed from an original 5000 gal. batch. A reverse osmosis system was selected that could handle the highly viscous product efficiently. The system is powered by a 40 hp electric motor and uses approximately one tenth of the power of the evaporator.
