Crystallization remains one of the most effective and environmentally friendly techniques for product recovery and purification, especially when conventional distillation falls short. Sulzer Chemtech offers a diverse portfolio of crystallization technologies, including suspension, static, and falling film crystallizers, tailored for high purity and energy-efficient separation of complex organic mixtures.
Sulzer’s Fractional Melt Crystallization process enables solvent-free purification by exploiting liquid-solid phase changes, resulting in ultra-high purity products required in pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals. In suspension crystallization, crystals grow in a stirred melt, while static crystallization involves crystal growth on cooled surfaces. Both methods allow precise control over crystal size, shape, and purity, producing consistent product quality.
Industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, organic acids production, and polymer intermediates rely on Sulzer’s crystallization solutions to separate components that are heat-sensitive, azeotropic, or close boiling, with minimal energy consumption and solvent usage.
