Description

This Crystallisation Unit is designed to
demonstrate basic principles of crystallization
and operations of a crystallizer
This unit consists of:
• Feed and product vessels
• Crystallization pump and vessel
• Heat exchanger
• Distillate condenser
• Heating/Cooling systems
• Condensate vessel
Experimental capabilities:
• Demonstration of crystallization processes using
evaporation, surface cooling, vacuum cooling
(optional) and reaction methods
• Study of solubility curves and phase diagrams for
crystallization
• Observation of formation of crystals, nucleation
and crystal growth
• Effects of circulation and feed flow rates on
crystallization rates
• Effects of temperature, reaction and pressure
(optional) on crystallization rates
