This makes the system very\u00a0simple and leads to a lower cost. The conventional setup of PFC produces ice with high purity but lower productivity than\u00a0suspension freeze concentration (SFC). The volume of ice produced is also usually low. Hence, continued areas of the development\u00a0for PFC system include the quest for improved productivity and better efficiency. Different kinds of design have been investigated,\u00a0which are easy to operate and cost-effective besides the ability to obtain high quality of product and better efficiency of the system.\u00a0The PFC system is recognized as a good alternative if high-quality products can be produced with higher productivity. In this\u00a0article, previous researches on PFC designs were reviewed for the purpose of providing an understanding on methods of designing\u00a0a PFC system and also to provide references for future application of PFC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/mazurajusoh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/878\/2014\/12\/pfc.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-678 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/mazurajusoh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/878\/2014\/12\/pfc.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"339\" height=\"268\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Image of a crystallizer employing Progressive Freeze Concentration technique<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progressive freeze concentration (PFC) is a process where only a large single ice crystal is formed in the system and grown on the\u00a0cooling surface so that the separation between the ice crystal and the mother solution is very easy.
