Reverse osmosis is a more economical way to concentrate liquids (such as fruit juices) than conventional heat-treatment. Concentration of orange and tomato juice has advantages including a lower operating cost and the ability to avoid heat-treatment, which makes it suitable for heat-sensitive substances such as protein and enzymes .
In Israel at Ashkelon on the Mediterranean coast, the world's largest reverse osmosis plant is producing 396,000 [6] m³ of water a day at around possibly US$0.50 per m³. [7] In western Saudi Arabia at Yanbu, production started in 1999 at 106,904 m³ of water a day. Later in 2009 with some expansion the production reached to 132,000 m³ of ...
