Methylethyl ether enters the middle of Distillation Column T0101; does this phrasing seem inaccurate? Is there a better way to say it? It’s still possible to change “in” to “from”; this refers to normal feeding, that is, feeding at the feed plate in the middle of the distillation tower.

DME enters the middle part of the distillation column. Personally, I think \"middle part\" is a more appropriate term here, as entering the middle of the distillation column doesn’t necessarily mean the exact center; adding the word \"part\" helps to indicate the middle area while also expanding the scope a bit, thus avoiding any ambiguity regarding the exact center. The preposition chosen is \"into\"; it’s more appropriate than \"in\", as it indicates direction, while \"in\" denotes entry. One word alone suffices to convey both the direction and the state. I hope you’re satisfied.
Theoretically, “enter” is a transitive verb and should be able to be used directly; \"Enter in\" and \"enter into\" are also used; which one is appropriate depends on usage habits. \"from\" isn’t quite appropriate, is it?
Methoxide enters the middle part of distillation tower T0101; when referring to ‘entering’, ‘enter’ means ‘go into’, so no additional preposition is needed. ‘Feeding’ can also be expressed using the phrase ‘be fed to’. Trial translation: DME enters/ is fed to the middle of the fractionator (T0101). Additionally, if you want to specify the exact feeding location of XX as \"from/at/on the Nth tray\", you can say XX enters/ is fed to the fractionator from/at/on the Nth tray….
