Ents, i.e., the use of stationary profiles for the start-up in the inactive segment, has an influence on the start-up time. Nevertheless, the effect appears to become rather smaller when comparing the start-up time of case C1 for the base case.ChemEngineering 2021, five,liquid accumulation inside the sump, lowering the time till the set-point is reached. Therefore, the heat provide to the reboiler from the segment begins earlier. The time, till a steady state at the major on the segmented column is reached, is lowered by 28.74 . The all round time is lowered by 16.25 . As expected, these outcomes show that the liquid transfer in between the segments, i.e., the usage of stationary profiles for the start-up with the inactive segment, has an 11 of 17 impact on the start-up time. However, the impact seems to become rather smaller when comparing the start-up time of case C1 to the base case.110 Erlotinib-13C6 site 100Temperature in80 70 60 50 40 30 20 0 0.2 0.4 0.six 0.eight 1 stage 1 stage six stage eight reboilerTime in hFigure six.

At the starting with the start-up in case C1, of 18 on the temperature and concentration profiles. In the starting on the start-up in case C1, the MX-function features a steep gradient. The concentrations within the second segment approach the MX-function features a steep gradient. The concentrations in the second segment approach a steady state speedily. Then, gas rises in the column and because the liquid accumulates on the a steady state swiftly. Then, gas rises inside the column and because the liquid accumulates around the stages, mixing with fresh feed slows the method to a steady state. The basic trend the MX functions of case C1 and thethe strategy to a steady state. The general trend of restages,MX functionsfresh feed slowsthe base casecan be consideredsimilar. From these mixing with of case C1 and base case might be considered similar. From these of the sults, it cancan deduced that 1 aim of improving the start-up process is to reduce the be be deduced that 1 aim of enhancing the start-up procedure should be to decrease the outcomes, it effects ofof mixingsince the steady-state concentration and and temperature profiles of the acmixing since the steady-state concentration temperature profiles from the active effects tive segment are easily disturbed. segment are quickly disturbed.eight BC C1 C2 C3 C4 C1 7 six five four three two C2 C3 CMXoverall on the inactive segment1 0 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.five 0.0 0 1 two three four 5Time in hTime in hFigure 7.

The transfer of liquid to the inactive segment also influences the concentrations in the active segment. This could be noticed by thinking of Figure eight.
