Modification of crystal size distribution (CSD) caused by using a cascade of two and three mixed tanks instead of a single crystallizer, both operating at comparable set of conditions, was examined. General trends of CSD change have been illustrated by computation of objective function for various numerical sets of operating variables together with physical and kinetic properties of hypothetical, yet realistic crystallizing systems. It was found that generally a desirable maximum of mean size and minimum of size dispersion of the product do not coincide. Both size and dispersion of crystal product from cascade might be higher that that from single crystallizer for some crystallizing systems but usually they are lower.
