Reverse osmosis is a more economical filtration process for concentrating food liquids (such as fruit juices) than conventional heat-treatment processes. Research has been done on the effect and differences in concentration of orange juice and tomato juice based off of the different operations. Two major advantages to using RO system include low operating cost and the ability to completely avoid heat treatment processes, which makes it suitable for heat-sensitive substances like protein and enzymes found in most food products.

Pure Aqua manufactures reverse osmosis systems for the effective treatment process of surface, brackish and groundwater for both small and large flows applications. Water that contain high conductivity implies that there is a higher TDS concentration, which means that there are large amounts of dissolved mineral salts in the water. The presence of mineral salts like magnesium, sodium, and calcium can lead to serious health issues when consumed by humans so the utilization of water treatment systems is necessary to eliminate these harmful substances.

Water Concern: While reverse osmosis is generally used for the construction of clean and portable water from brackish and seawater sources, the usage of this process has increased with the food industry. This is mainly due to the agricultural industry demanding huge quantities of freshwater for the production of grains, fruits, and vegetables which need water to grow. Diseases such as E coli are prevalent issues in food processing and reduces the safety of these many foods for human consumption.

Applied Solution: For this reason, virtually every food processing industry incorporate systems that work alongside the reverse osmosis process. Our brackish water reverse osmosis systems make for highly economical applications within the food industry in regards to the efficient and safe production of certain items such as fruit juices. The benefits of these systems include low expense for operations and great suitability for substances usually found in food items like enzymes and protein which are sensitive to heat. This is due to reverse osmosis being very averse to heat treatment processes.
