Start-up (process engineering)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When starting up in which it is processing technology , the transfer of a plant into the stationary driving designated.

background

When stationary driving is reached, all essential process stages should be able to work properly. Until then, many components will not have the optimal operating temperature. In thermal systems, therefore, there are increased emissions during start-up , which are expressed, among other things, in increased soot and carbon monoxide production. For systems whose stationary operation is significantly longer than the start-up process, the then increased emissions are negligible.

The travel time of a system begins with its start-up. Just like moving off, moving off is part of normal operation. Both processes do not belong to normal operation , but to regular operation .

The duration of the start-up process can be very different depending on the system. It ranges from a few minutes for internal combustion engines to periods of several hours or days for waste incineration plants .
