Industrial solution crystallization plants
Optimize your production with tailored crystallization systems designed for efficient solid-liquid separation, ensuring high-purity crystalline products and improved process sustainability across large-scale operations.
Crystallizes and Purifies Bulk Chemicals
The COMPACRYST® from GEA Chemical Solutions is an engineered-to-order crystallization solution designed for continuous, energy-efficient large-capacity operations across industries like agrochemical and food processing. Utilizing forced circulation and draft tube baffle crystallizers, it excels in crystallizing and purifying bulk chemicals, including potash, zinc chloride, and sodium chloride.
This system employs sophisticated heat integration and recovery methods, minimizing energy use and reducing operational costs. Adaptable for producing highly pure crystalline products and recycling purified solvents, it operates efficiently in diverse conditions, including zero liquid discharge setups. Its fully automated, PLC-controlled design ensures seamless integration into existing production lines, with remote monitoring enhancing process control.
Built from corrosion-resistant materials, the COMPACRYST® offers optional stainless steel or Hastelloy construction for challenging environments. It meets stringent industry standards and supports sustainable manufacturing practices through reduced energy consumption. Additionally, it features a CIP system for efficient cleaning, minimizing downtime and ensuring contamination-free operation while accommodating customized solutions tailored to your production requirements.
