What does “established” mean in a sentence?
Thread Content
A benzene flow path through the RGB and Alkylation Reactors, as well as benzene short loops, is usually established before filling the reactors. These benzene short loop lines are gradually filled until a flow of benzene is established through the reactor effluent line to the feed of the Benzene Recovery Column.

In the petrochemical industry, \"established\" is often translated as \"specified,\" and it makes sense when used in the original sentence.
Established means “established or set up”. The flow within the benzene-containing small loop line of the RGB and alkylation reactors has been established before the reactors are filled. The small circulation line for the benzene-containing stream is gradually filled until a flow of benzene-containing material is established from the outlet pipeline of the reactor to the feed pipeline of the benzene recovery tower.
Depending on the context, it seems to mean something like “assembling, putting together”
This describes the flow of benzene. The two terms “Established” have the same meaning, both referring to the formation of something: 1. Formation of a loop; 2. Formation of a flow
Using “establish” for the first one is fine; for the second one, the exact wording needs consideration. How about using “appear” for the flow?
