Continuously operated crystallizer energy demand

The first industrial crystallizers and crystallization processes came up about 150 years ago. The crystallization process became entirely independent of locations (e.g., solar ponds) or stationary energies and all product purities became educible. The further development led to different crystallizers adjusted to the respective crystallization processes and concentrated on the product quality aspect demanded by the market. Applying vacuum technology opened the possibility to choose operation apart from the atmospheric pressure and herewith the opportunity to precisely design the crystallization processes to the respective phase systems and the material properties. Today, these vacuum crystallization processes have become the common standard in the industrial continuous single mass crystallization from solutions.
