Development of a new crystallisation chamber for a progressive freeze concentration system
Concentration enhancement of solutions is often a process neccessary in many industrial processes, including in liquid food concentrations and wastewater treatment. At present, there are three available methods to carry out such a task, namely evaporation, reverse osmosis and freeze concentration. i...
