The presence of recycle streams in granular detergent production indicates a problem with byproduct management or off-specification material disposal. Efficiently reintegrating these streams reduces industrial waste and improves raw material utilization.

The focus on specific morphologies like flakes and granules indicates that standard alkyl benzene sulphonates suffer from poor physical integrity or caking during storage and handling. Improving the structural form ensures consistent flowability and dissolution rates in detergent applications.
