Abstract
This paper aims at developing a cylindrical crystallizer with anti-supercooling holes for progressive freeze concentration process. The main purpose for this development is to provide a physical method for prevention of supercooling phenomenon. This phenomenon promotes contamination of ice crystals, resulting low purity which is unfavorable for the system. Therefore, the prevention of this problem would be tackled by introducing a new design of crystallizer. A glucose solution is used as a model liquid to determine the crystallizer performance. The ice nucleation mechanism is a keyword in this system in overcoming this problem. This newly designed crystallizer is expected to simplify the system by removing the ice lining requirement and also reducing the time consumed. It is also expected to improve the production of ice crystals more than 54 percent of purer solid ice.
