Process for recovering water of reduced salinity by contacting a semipermeable hydrophilic composite sheet with high salinity water and recovering a lower salinity water from the water sorbed in the sheet by applying sufficient physical pressure to force the water out of the sheet.

Method for recovering water of reduced salinity from high salinity water

An apparatus and method for reducing the water content of honey is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing for the honey, a rotatable high surface area body upon which the honey forms a thin film and means for supplying a nonturbulent stream of ambient pressure 40.degree. C. to 75.degree. C. air to said housing so as to reduce the water content of the thin film of honey. The method involves rotating the rotatable body so as to form a thin film of honey and passing a nonturbulent stream of ambient pressure 40.degree. C. to 75.degree. C. air over said honey to reduce its water content.

Removing water from honey at ambient pressure

A method for reducing the water content of honey is disclosed. The method involves rotating a thin film of honey and passing a nonturbulent stream of ambient pressure 40.degree. C. to 75.degree. C. air over said honey to reduce its water content.
