  • the term“manifold” as used herein is a coupling between a flow line and a plurality of upstream or downstream flow paths, wherein for example, the plurality of flow paths may be associated with outlets of pressure vessels.
  • “Beverage” as used herein refers to any alcoholic beverage, including beer, wine, and cider, to any solution having alcohol (for example, an ethanol solution), and to any beverage made from fermented products, including beer, wine, cider, mead, and kombucha.
  • “Real Extract”, expressed as a percent weight, is defined as the mass of non ethanol and non-water compounds within a liquid or beverage.
  • Multi-pass, multi-stage reverse osmosis systems for the concentration and/or dealcoholization of beverages (or other fermented liquids), including alcoholic beverages, that allow for boosted throughput or concentration factor.
  • Systems described include multi-stage reverse osmosis systems that operate at low temperatures and high pressures, which are capable of reaching high beverage concentrations and are easily cleanable.
  • Fig. 1 shows a reverse osmosis (RO) system having two pressure vessels or stages 100, 101 with a high pressure pump 102 that feeds a starting liquid or feed 105 into a feed inlet of the first stage 100.
  • the first stage 100 produces a permeate 106 and a retentate
  • the retentate 110 and the second stage 101 produces a permeate 107 and a retentate 108.
  • the retentate 110 of the first stage 100 is fed into a feed inlet of the second stage 101.
  • the system adds a feed 109 to an existing high pressure flow, in this example, retentate 110 from the first stage 100.
  • FIG. 2 shows a reverse osmosis system similar to Fig. 1 with an additional high pressure pump 203 adding the feed 109 into the retentate 110.
  • a check valve 204 or other method of preventing backflow, is important for initialization of pump 203 when high pressure exists in the first stage 100, such that the pressure of feed 109 is equal to the pressure of retentate 110 plus the resistance of check valve 204 before feed 109 can flow into the second stage 101.
  • feed 109 which may be either substantially the same or different from feed 105, is added to the second stage 101 of the reverse osmosis process without requiring a depressurization and repressurization of retentate 110.
  • the blended stream of retentate 110 and pumped feed 109 are coupled to the inlet of the second stage 101 in a series of reverse osmosis processes.
  • feed 105 is a fermented beverage
  • feed 109 is de-aerated water.
  • the system allows for a specific method of bringing de-aerated water to high pressure so water may be blended in with the retentate 110 between two stages 100, 101 of the RO system.
  • Pumps 102, 203 may have different ramp speeds, and this can result in unexpected reverse flow through one pump if the other pump has ramped up first.
  • the check valve 204 solves this problem as the check valve 204 allows the first pump 102 to be turned on, and then pump 203 to be turned on once pressure of retentate 110 is steady.
  • the check valve 204 is shown as a separate component.
  • the check-valve 204 may be built into the pump 203 or into pump 102 (in which case pump 102 is ramped up first).
  • a pump 102 or 203 may be employed that allows only for flow in one direction. Importantly, such a pump 102 or 203 should be able to withstand a back pressure of at least 600 psi when no power is provided to the pump 102 or 203.
  • FIG. 3 shows a prior art system with a two-stage reverse osmosis system designed for high overall retention.
  • the system includes a pump 102 and a feed 105 that is supplied to a feed inlet of the first stage 100.
  • the first stage 100 produces a permeate 106 and a retentate 110 and the second stage 101 produces a permeate 107 and a retentate 108.
  • Retentate 110 is higher in concentration than feed 105, and retentate 110 of the first stage 100 is fed into a feed inlet of the second stage 101, where again a higher concentration retentate 108 is produced.
  • permeate 107 will be of a higher concentration than permeate 106.
  • permeate 107 of the second stage 101 is returned to join with feed 105.
  • Fig. 4 shows a reverse osmosis system similar to Fig. 3 with a third stage 401 added.
  • the third stage 401 of the reverse osmosis system is fed by retentate 108 of the second stage 101.
  • the third stage 401 produces a permeate 402 and a retentate 403 .
  • permeate 107 is necessarily a higher concentration than permeate 106, so is permeate 402 a higher concentration than permeate 107.
  • both permeates 107 and 402 are returned to join with feed 105.
  • Fig. 5 shows a reverse osmosis system similar to Fig. 4, which is more efficient through the coupling of permeate 402 to the inlet of the second stage 101, where it blends with retentate 110 of the first stage 100 at high pressure.
  • the reason for an efficiency gain is because the concentration of permeate 402 from the third stage 401 is higher than permeate 107 from the second stage 101 and, where permeate 107 may be close in concentration to feed 105, then permeate 402 may be close in concentration to retentate 110 of the first stage 100.
  • the pressure at the blend point of the retentate 110 and the permeate 402 should be between 850 psi and 3000 psi, or more preferably 1250 psi to 3000 psi.
  • Table 1 displays data demonstrating improved efficiency allowing for achievement of a higher factor of concentration over the same number of membranes when high pressure blending to a mid-point is employed.
  • high pressure pump 203 with a check valve 204 (or high pressure pump 102 with a check valve) allows for the mixing of two high pressure streams.
  • a pump that does not allow for flow when the streams are not actively being pumped can alternatively serve as back-flow prevention in the place of pump 203 and check valve 204.
  • Table 1 Concentration factors achieved on the same number of membranes when high pressure blending is and is not employed.
  • FIG. 6 shows a reverse osmosis system similar to Fig. 5 with a three-stage, multi-pass system.
  • the three stages are described in Fig. 5, including the pump 203 with check valve 204 to allow for high pressure introduction of permeate 402 from the third stage 401 to the retentate 110 of the first stage 100 in the system between the first stage 100 and the second stage 101.
  • permeate 106 of the first stage 100 is fed using pump 603 into a second set of pressure vessels configured into a two-pass system having a first pass
  • the permeate 606 of the first pass 600 is fed to the feed inlet of the second pass 601.
  • Retentate 608, produced by the first pass 600 is kept within the system by returning the retentate 608 to join with feed 105 to be fed into the first stage 100.
  • the second pass 601 produces a permeate 602, the final permeate output of the entire system in Fig. 6, and does so via backpressure formed by throttling the flow of retentate 604.
  • backpressure to pressurize the second pass 601
  • the permeate 606 from the first pass 600 should be at a pressure between about 300 psi to about 1,500 psi.
  • the high concentration retentate 604 of the second pass 601 is kept within the system by joining with permeate 106 from the first stage 100 and fed to the feed inlet of the first pass 600.
  • the system is able to produce high concentration in retentate 403 of the third stage 401 and high overall retention with less energy than would otherwise be used if high pressure blending and backpressuring were not employed.
