About SWENSON WALKER CRYSTALLIZER APPARATUS

Specification:

SWENSONWALKER CRYSTALLIZER APPARATUS

The set-up is designed to demonstrateand stimulate the phenomena of crystallization.

Swenson Walker crystallizer is acontinuous type crystallizer.

This operation involves both heat andmass transfer. Crystallization is the formation of solid particles within ahomogeneous phase.

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

The setup consists of a top openjacketed round bottom trough. A ribbon mixer is provided in crystallizertrough, which rotates at low rpm for agitation of saturated solution.

The saturated solution is prepared ina tank fitted with heater and a stirrer.

This hot saturated solution is fed atone end of the crystallizer and flows slowly towards the other end while beingcooled and is allowed to flow back in hot feed tank making the processcontinuous. The crystals sediments at the bottom of the trough, and can bewashed out at the end of process.

Arrangement for Cooling watercirculation and flow measurement in jacket is made by using storage type watertank, a pump and a rotameter. Necessary instrumentation is done for tempmeasurement
