2.5—Inline Static Mixer Crystallizer

An improved static mixer crystallizer to accelerate crystal growth from supersaturated solutions that is ten times less expensive than alternatives. The immediate application is handling the supersaturated aqueous solutions produced during the desalination of inland water. The overarching advantage is lowering the volume and cost of handling the concentrated reject produced from reverse osmosis desalination.
