Our Core Business‘ Market Fields Solution Crystallization Worldwide, millions of tons of bulk products are crystallized daily from solutions, like sugar, salt and fertilizers. The name of the applied unit operation is mass crystallization, resp. single crystallization from solution. The most common solvent is water. By crystallization the dissolved substance is recovered in high purity and the desired granulometry. Depending on the type of crystallizer the achievable particle size ranges from microns to millimeters. There are three basic types of crystallizers. The FC, the DTB, and the Oslo...

Wastewater Technologies for the 21 st century – For Production and Wastewater Application astewater. In addition to the classical activities in the field of mass crystallization, GEA Messo PT has been trendsetter in the field of wastewater evaporation and crystallization concepts with focus on ZLD starting from the late seventies. GEA Messo PT was the first in the field of ZLD for the liquid effluents from Flue Gas Desulfurization in power stations. GEA Messo PT was the first plant constructor to design a plant for the recovery of Calcium chloride dihydrate by crystallization and has...

White Biotech Substituting base organics For Food Related Ingredient hite biotechnology is biotechnology applied to industrial processes, e. g. the use of a living micro-organism to produce chemicals in sustainable ways. Another example is the use of enzymes as catalysts to produce chemicals. White biotechnology usually consumes renewable resources instead of natural resources. That justifies the adjective sustainable compared to traditional processes used to produce industrial goods. The produced solutions are separated by classical solution crystallization. Typical GEA Messo PT references...

Melt Crystallization elt Crystallization With the early 1990’s Niro PT began to expand into the melt crystallization markets. Melt crystallization provides an economic and energy efficient alternative purification step in cases where standard distillation is unsuitable due to e.g. close boiling isomers, azeotropic systems, heat sensitive products, products that tend to polymerize, explosive substances, etc. The suspension based process provides slow growth rates that allow pure crystal formation even in relatively impure melts. Ultra-pure product can be obtained by efficient separation of...
