Abstract

There are many solutions to save energy during crystallization but they often imply huge investments. Hence, they are mainly applied during a complete retrofit. At the end of the 1990s, Tereos, France developed a new crystallization scheme based on the IRIS’ “Programme Qualité”, a 1st strike crystallization program, and syrup concentration requiring minimum investment. It has been tested in two factories that are now closed. As part of the recent investment program for energy, the group has successfully started two new crystallization projects, adding improvements thanks to its experience. Basics and advantages of this scheme are presented as well as the recent optimizations. Disadvantages and further modifications will be discussed.
