Diy Reverse Osmosis Maple Syrup. Five years ago, ray gingerich decided that small maple syrup producers might be interested in a portable reverse osmosis machine that would greatly reduce the boiling time to make syrup. Reverse osmosis is a process typically used for water purification.
By using the reverse osmosis treatment for maple syrup, small producers can remove water from sap, boil down the reject stream and manufacture a thick amount of syrup. I work in water treatment and have worked with ro systems for along time. I started building this ro toward the end of the season last year from different parts from other scrapped systems.

Finished maple syrup is 67% sugar. He and his son built one on wheels powered by a gas engine so it could be operated onsite right where maple sap is gathered. How to make a diy reverse osmosis system for maple syrup, and how r/o works to remove water from maple sap. This is my 1st full season using the ro system.
