Une fois que les cristaux ont atteint la taille et la quantité désirées, le mélange (masse cuite) passe dans des essoreuses afin de séparer les cristaux de l'eau encore présente. Cette eau ou égout pauvre repart au niveau des phases d'évaporation et de cristallisation pour un deuxième voire un troisième traitement. Les cristaux obtenus sont lavés par pulvérisation d'eau (clairçage). L'eau obtenue après clairçage est également appelée égout riche. Les cristaux appelés aussi sucre de premier jet sont finalement séchés sous vide, puis stockés dans des silos. Ils contiennent 99,9 % de saccharose. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9gout%20riche

Le procédé du «chargement sur résidus» est appliqué [...] sur beaucoup de navires pétroliers pour limiter au maximum les quantités d'hydrocarbures rejetées avec l'eau de mer qui a été utilisée pour le rinçage des citernes ou le ballastage du navire. Il conduit à conserver à bord les résidus du chargement précédent, qui peuvent être séparés de la phase aqueuse qui les contient par une opération de décantation et, éventuellement, de chauffage, réalisée dans des citernes spéciales (désignées par «slop-tanks»). On conserve à bord le surnageant huileux pour n'évacuer que la phase aqueuse; au besoin des séparateurs d'émulsion peuvent être utilisés pour réduire encore le taux de pollution [...] 9, record 5, French, - chargement%20sur%20r%C3%A9sidus
