What is the meaning of INDUCTION PERIOD?
Thread Content
The process description includes the following statement: 4. OPERATE EXCHANGER IN 6 SHELLS IN SERIES DURING SOR/EOR CASE WHILE DURING INDUCTION PERIOD IT SHALL BE OPERATED WITH 11 SHELLS IN SERIES. What does the INDUCTION PERIOD refer to in terms of butylene isomerization? In simple terms, it is the induction period. For chemical plants, or more specifically for butylene isomerization plants, what constitutes this induction period? I would also appreciate advice from experienced SeaUsers.
Check the context to see if it mentions oil introduction
It is the induction period, the time required from when the polymerization reaction begins until it proceeds normally; the shell and tube reactor used during this period is model 11
This means that series-connected heat exchangers with 6 shell tubes are used at the beginning and end of operation, while those with 11 shell tubes are used during the induction period
