Project: Controlling Particle Size and Particle Distribution in Crystalization Operations

Crystallization is a widely used technology for solid-liquid separation in the process industry. It is extensively used in the production of pharmaceuticals to separate the drug from the solvent mixture as well as to ensure that the drug crystal product conforms to size and morphology specifications. The crystal size in crystallization processes is one of the most important variables since it influences factors such as filtration rate, de-watering rate, dissolution rate and bioavailability, amongst others.
