Abstract
A concentrator system is for processing maple sap for production of maple syrup. The concentrator system includes a fluid circuit for receiving maple sap to be processed from a given source of maple sap. At least one osmotic membrane is operatively disposed about the fluid circuit and in fluid connection with the maple sap to be processed, for passing the maple sap to be processed through the at least one osmotic membrane, at differential pressure of at least 600 PSI, in order to withdraw water content from the maple sap being processed and thus obtain a resulting concentrated maple sap in one single step.

A concentrator system for processing maple sap for production of maple syrup, the concentrator system comprising:
- a fluid circuit for receiving maple sap to be processed from a given source of maple sap;
- and
- at least one osmotic membrane operatively disposed about the fluid circuit and in fluid connection with the maple sap to be processed, for passing said maple sap to be processed through the at least one osmotic membrane, at differential pressure of at least 600 PSI, to withdraw water content from the maple sap being processed and obtain a resulting concentrated maple sap in one single step.
A method of processing maple sap for production of maple syrup, wherein the method comprises the step of passing the maple sap to be processed through at least one osmotic membrane subject to a differential pressure of at least 600 PSI, to obtain a resulting concentrated maple sap having more than 25° Brix, in one single step.
