Evaporation and Syrup Production

What happens here

After concentration by the reverse osmosis system, the 'sweeter water' (concentrated sap) is transferred to a smaller holding tank. From this tank, the concentrated sap flows via gravity through a pipe directly into a large, multi-chambered evaporator. The evaporator continuously boils the sap, allowing water to evaporate and progressively increasing the sugar concentration. As the sap moves through the various chambers of the evaporator, it thickens, and at the final stage, it emerges as finished maple syrup.

Goal: Concentrated sap is gravity-fed into a multi-chambered evaporator where it is boiled down until it reaches the consistency and sugar content of maple syrup.
