The process can be divided in two blocks:
- Crystallization: production of ice crystals. This block consists of at least one scraped crystallizer for removal of the crystallization heat and a growth vessel where the ice crystals have time to grow to a separable size.
- Separation: separation of the ice crystals from the mother liquor. This block consists of at least one wash column with peripherals such as a melt loop with a heat exchanger to melt the ice.
