Page 3: Introduction
H O Innovation, including both the 200 and 300 models. The only difference between the two models is that the 200 has two membranes and the 300 has three. All of the information below applies to both models. -
Page 4: Importance Of Membrane Rinsing And Washing
III. Importance of Membrane Rinsing and Washing The membrane is a key system component that enables the removal of water from sap and is an expensive item to replace. Its spiral-type structure and its surface made of very fine pores make cleaning difficult but most important. Neglecting adequate maintenance will allow the accumulation of bacteria that will obstruct the membrane and may cause permanent damage. -
Page 5: Membrane Installation
IV. MEMBRANE INSTALLATION Note: The membrane must be soaked in distilled water in a membrane storage vessel for 24 hours prior to installation. The membrane’s performance will be permanently altered if this is not done. Remove the clamps and black caps at the end of the membrane containers. The caps pull straight out once the clamps are removed. - Page 6 Next, install the black rubber o-ring referred to as the U-cup into the groove at the end of the membrane. The U-shape of the ring must be facing out from the container. Lubricate the U-cup and cap o-ring with a food grade glycerin based lubricant. Firmly push the membrane into the container with a twisting action to insure proper seating.

Page 8: Micron Pre-Filter Installation
VI. 5 MICRON PRE-FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION Unscrew the pre-filter housing, pull it down, insert a Purtex 5 micron filter cartridge (P/N Purpx05-9-7/8) and reassemble the housing. The pre-filter cartridge must be replaced at the beginning of each season and when the pressure differential exceeds 20 psi. -
Page 9: Operating The Concentrator
OPERATING THE CONCENTRATOR A. Start-Up and Initial Rinse Cycle The purpose of the start-up and initial rinse cycle is to provide a one-time flush for newly installed membranes using mineral free or permeate water. This initial rinse cycle is necessary to eliminate any residue left over from the manufacturing process in the membranes. -
Page 10: Maple Sap Concentration Process Cycle
B.Maple Sap Concentration Process Cycle (General sap water removal operation) The purpose of maple sap concentration cycle is to remove water from the sap. The maple sap concentration cycle is accomplished by following the next 7 steps. 1. Back off the concentrate control valve 2 turns prior to starting the Concentrator. 2. -
Page 11: End Of Day Cleaning And Final Rinse Cycle
The purpose of this process cycle is to clean the Concentrator prior to shutting down at the end of the day. Note: Save approximately 200 to 400 gallons of permeate for the end of the season cleaning described below under section E. Equipment Storage (end of season). -
