From Lab to Pilot Scale: Commissioning of an Integrated Device for the Generation of Crystals

Fast time-to-market, increased efficiency, and flexibility of production processes are major motivators for the development integrated, continuous apparatuses with short changeover times. Following this trend, modular belt crystallizer was developed characterized in lab scale model system sucrose/water. Based on promising results, plant concept upscaled commissioned industrial environment. The results presented within scope work. Starting from small seed crystals solution, we were able to grow, separate dry product particles. Further, conducted experiments demonstrated that it is possible transfer laboratory pilot scale, which turn enables accelerated process design as well development.
