Abstract
An apparatus for reacting diluted molasses with lime in a tank 5 includes a pair of heat exchangers 12, 17, a pair of four-way valves 10, 14, an inlet circuit 2, 15 for the tank, and a circuit 8, 19 for recirculating part of the reacted molasses back through the tank. The positions of the valves are periodically switched which reverses both the circuit couplings of and the directions of flow through the heat exchangers, to thereby dissolve any built up deposits and crusts in the heat exchangers.
