KEITH HINKLEY, PRESIDENT OF PLAQUEMINES PARISH: You've got one trailer would be the reverse osmosis and the other would be the filtration system right there.
18. So instead of freshwater moving out of the plant's cells, salt from the seawater enters, -reverse osmosis- and this actually strengthens the cells.
So using reverse osmosis, we can take an industrial wastewater and convert up to 95 percent of it into pure water, leaving only five percent as this concentrated salty mixture.
Take the drought-prone Tri-Valley area of Northern California, which in the late 1990s built a multi-million dollar water plant that used reverse osmosis to recycle sewage water into drinking water.
She recommends using a glass bottle when you're on the go, and filling it with water that has gone through a reverse osmosis filter, which can help to remove the microplastics in tap water.
Sap has 2% sugar, concentrate has 20% sugar, so what we're doing in the reverse-osmosis process is we're pulling water out of the sap and concentrating the maple syrup into another solution.
It's like you're looking at a fire (a metaphor for your financial problems), and you're running around scrubbing the fire hoses, polishing the nozzles, and setting up a reverse-osmosis filter for the water supply.
