Steps for shutting down the reformation booster

What parameters need to be noted. There are also specific steps.
These days, centrifugal compressors are often used for reconfiguration purposes. Since you mentioned cutting off a machine, it must be a reciprocating compressor; the steps for shutting down such a compressor involve starting the backup unit according to the standard procedure, closing the bypass valve, adjusting the load on the backup unit, while simultaneously reducing the load on the unit that is being shut down. At this point, it’s important to carry out loading and unloading in stages, depending on the unit’s ability to adjust its load – levels such as 0/25%/50%/75%/100% or 0/50%/100% are commonly used. Each time a load is increased, the unit needs to operate for a certain period of time, and loading should only proceed once there are no abnormalities in terms of vibration or temperature rise
