Chromatography is a new process to most sugar
technologists, yet it is fast becoming a tool of significance for
recovering sucrose and other value by-products.
The CSEP® chromatographic separator, one of the most modern SMB
industrial concepts, is uniquely flexible and adaptable to all the
challenges in the growing use of chromatography for production scale
separations. The technology has already penetrated the food &
sweetener industries on a commercial basis.
The CSEP® and ISEP® concepts comprise a mechanical and process
methodology to efficiently bring into contact liquids and solids as
two counter-current contacting streams. In the areas of adsorption
and ion exchange the commercial success of the ISEP has been
demonstrated repeatedly over the last ten years.
The paper explains some of the process thinking that goes into the
construction of actual CSEP® separation plant configurations and
includes references to sugar-related applications.
