Frequently asked questions

How to account for product density?
Enter density in kg/L: for juice it is slightly above one and it drives the conversion from litres to tonnes.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
