Draft tube crystallizers employ a unique design to facilitate the crystallization process. Essentially, these systems depend on a downward passage that channels the supersaturated solution vertically. As the solution flows through the draft tube, heat transfer occur. This results the development of crystals, which ultimately deposit at the bottom of the crystallizer vessel.
For maximum efficiency crystallization, several variables need to be carefully analyzed. These comprise the concentration of the solution, heat transfer rate, hydrodynamic regime, and crystal size distribution.
