What does “typically” mean in a sentence?

For the initial startup of the plant, the benzene feed to all three systems is typically dried at one time by recirculating the benzene from the Benzene Column Reflux Drum back through the Light Column, as described in the section on the Benzene Recovery Column. Before introducing ethylene, the benzene feed to the reactors is usually adjusted to fit within the limitations of the Benzene Column Reboiler by reducing the amount of benzene that circulates through the Light Column.

Typically means typical; here it can be understood as \"usually\""
Literally, it means typical, but in this sentence I think it means the complete meaning
Agree with the second floor; typically means typical, and in a sentence it indicates: generally speaking, the usual practice is...
Typically means typical; in the sentence it seems to refer to *the usual practice
Dictionary meaning 1. Representatively; as a characteristic feature; typically. A large bus, typically used for sightseeing. A large tour bus – specifically, a large vehicle used for sightseeing. Should this be translated as \"especially\" or \"primarily\"? Using “habitually” in general contexts doesn’t seem appropriate; it would be better to use “usually” or “be used to”
typically adv. representatively, as a characteristic
Using “usually” to translate it conveys the meaning appropriately; using “typical” would sound strange
I think \"general\" is a suitable translation; it does have the meaning of \"general\". I believe it is used here to refer to the methods for performing operations other than this special case, and the choice of word also depends on an individual’s language habits:*lol
