Abstract. In recent years, the sugar industry of the Russian Federation has been booming, demonstrating a positive trend in the production of finished products. Modern sucrose crystallization is based on two fundamental processes: periodic and continuous boiling sugar massecuites. Periodic crystallization, despite shortcomings of this technology, continues to prevail at the sugar plants not only in Russia but also abroad, and it has reserves for the improvement. Continuous crystallization is not yet widespread due to the high cost of equipment and design flaws in a number of nodes, and it is unlikely that in the next decade there will be a complete replacement of vacuum apparatus of periodic action. One of the promising areas is the alternative technology of semi-continuous crystallization of sucrose, the concept of which has been actively developed in recent years. The article provides an analysis and comparison of the results of a machine experiment obtained by simulating the traditional (typical) technology of periodic boiling of all crystallization stages and alternative technology of semi-continuous crystallization of sucrose, the undoubted advantage of the latter is shown. Examples of other directions of development of the process of isobaric vaporizing crystallization of sucrose are given.
Keywords: sucrose crystallization; technological process; mathematical model; modeling.
