Purification and primary concentration techniques using tangential filtration
Maple products

Membrane technologies - physical separations by filtration - have gradually been adopted by the maple syrup industry, not only for the quality of the finished product, but also in terms of productivity and production costs (low energy consumption) [J 2 795]. Two factors are decisive in assessing the efficiency of these technologies. The first is productivity, expressed in terms of permeate flow rate (L · m^–2· h^–1), and the second is selectivity in terms of retention or rejection rate Tr (Tr = 1 – (Cp/Co), where Cp is the concentration of the species to be retained...
