Oslo crystalliser

Liquid fluidization is the basis of both the Oslo (or Krystal) continuous crystalliser (Mullin, 1993) which is used in the production of, for example, sugar or citric acid, and the bioreactors in which immobilised cells or enzymes are fluidized by the reactant solution (Epstein, 2003). It is used in the leaching of vegetable oils from seeds (Rios et al, 1985 Epstein, 2003) and in physical operations such as the washing and preparation of vegetables.
