A drastic reduction of fresh water consumption for extraction and refining of potato starch was reached in a new process. The undiluted potato rasp is pumped directly into a closed system of pumps and hydrocyclones in which the starch is separated from the fibres and washed out with fresh water. The fresh water consumption is reduced to about 200 l/t of potatoes. Quality and yield of starch are the same as in conventional processes.
