Lactose has been produced industrially for over 100 years (Dryden 1992). The objectives of the lactose manufacturer were summed up by Herrington (1934): "In the manufacture of lactose, it is desirable to secure a maximum yield of crystals in a minimum time, and to secure crystals which may be readily washed with a minimum of loss". These objectives are still valid for the modern lactose manufacturer and this chapter will examine how these objectives might be met.
