Cutting edge EFC, from theory to reality.
Thanks to Professor Alison Lewis, Crystallization and Precipitation Research Unit (CPU) Team and Industrial Partners who have contributed in moving eutectic freeze crystallization (EFC) from theory to reality. The first full-scale working unit for EFC, which was purchased by Glencore, built and designed by Prentec, is based on research done by CPU staff and students at UCT’s Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment.
