Crystallizer

A crystallizer is a device or piece of equipment used in the process of crystallization, which is the formation of solid crystals from a solution or melt. Crystallization is commonly used in chemical processes to purify substances or to separate components in a mixture. In a crystallizer, the conditions are carefully controlled (such as temperature, pressure, and concentration) to allow crystals to form and grow from the solution. The crystallized solid can then be collected and separated from the liquid phase.

Features

• Controlled temperature and residence time during continuous operation.
• Can be operated depending on the requirement of cooling or evaporative mode.
• Produces desired crystals in a stable manner.
• Higher crystal quality with plug flow conditions and lower rate of crystal attrition.

Applications

• Purification and Separation of API solids from Reaction Mass.
• Purification and separation of Chemicals, Specialty chemicals from Reaction Mass.
• Separation of Chiral Isomers.
• Used when fermentation products have low solubility in solvent.
• Crystal formation of Inorganic salts like KNO3, NaCl, Na2SO4, NH3, NaNO3, etc.
