Report from tests to optimize the operating parameters of a vertical continuous evaporating crystallizer (VKT) during the juice campaign 2018
The operating parameters of a vertical evaporating crystallization tower (VKT) of BMA are studied to obtain a predetermined sucrose crystal size distribution. The influence of the amount and properties of the seed massecuite and the feed syrup in relation to the residence time of B massecuite in the individual VKT chambers was analyzed. Using the Autodesk Plan Design Suite software a 3D model of the VKT was developed. The theoretically determined crystal size distribution of the final product was compared with the one achieved in the factory.

Innovative energy and mass balance of a continuous evaporating crystallizer
The article presents the mass and energy balances of the sucrose crystallization process in a continuous evaporating crystallizer. The developed algorithm allows to assess the working conditions of the continuous evaporating crystallizers and the technological and energy parameters. The energy balance algorithm takes into account the heat released during the crystallization of sucrose, which was analyzed in this study, heat losses to the environment and heat losses due the vapor used for inert gas removal.
