Simplified Approach to Characterize the Cooling Crystallization in a Modular Mini-Plant

The characterization of new process equipment often includes tedious experiments, particularly for (cooling) crystallization. This can be cost-intensive and time-consuming when the actual has to continuously operated gain insights. For multi-purpose plants that frequently change substance system, this especially laborious. In order accelerate generation data quasi-continuous filter belt crystallizer (QCFBC), a Peltier-element-driven, simplified experimental benchtop setup is validated in work using sucrose/water model system. It was shown operation conditions during cooling crystallization on plant appropriately emulated; therefore, an entire mini-plant experiments no longer necessary.
