SWENSON WALKER CRYSTALLIZER APPARATUS

Product Description

The set-up is designed to demonstrate andstimulate the phenomena of crystallization.

Swenson Walker crystallizer is a continuoustype crystallizer. This operation involves both heat and mass transfer.Crystallization is the formation of solid particles within a homogeneous phase.

Its wide use has a two-fold basis; a crystalformed from an impure solution is itself pure.

The setup consists of a top open jacketedround bottom trough. A ribbon mixer is provided in crystallizer trough, whichrotates at low rpm for agitation of saturated solution.

The saturated solution is prepared in a tankfitted with heater and a stirrer.

This hot saturated solution is fed at one endof the crystallizer and flows slowly towards the other end while being cooledand is allowed to flow back in hot feed tank making the process continuous. Thecrystals sediments at the bottom of the trough, and can be washed out at theend of process.

Arrangement for Cooling water circulation andflow measurement in jacket is made by using storage type water tank, a pump anda rotameter. Necessary instrumentation is done for temp measurement
