    摘要: A process for reducing the occurrence of mixed phases when concentrating dairy streams is suggested, comprising the following steps (i) providing at least one evaporation reactor; (ii) providing at least two stacked containers, which can be individually controlled by an evaporation reactor, or by the evaporation reactors; by proceeding as follows: (a) continuously concentrating a dairy stream in an evaporation reactor R1 and feeding the concentrate such obtained into the first stacked container V1, draining the container discontinuously and processing the concentrate contained therein; (b) increasing the performance of the evaporation reactor R1 such that the concentrate obtained has a higher dry matter content; (c) shutting down, rinsing, and removing of product from the evaporation reactor R1 using water, and, subsequently, (d) feeding the concentrate, which had been diluted with the rinsing water, into another stacked container V3, where the mixed phase MP2 such obtained is gathered, and is then further processed or discharged.
