According to the difference of its water content, it can be divided into citric acid monohydrate and anhydrous citric acid. It is the most important organic acid widely used in food, pharmaceutical, daily chemical and other industries due to its physical properties, chemical properties and derivative properties.
We provide a full range of engineering services, including project preparatory work, overall design, equipment supply, electrical automation, installation guidance and commissioning.
