Conduct no‑load tests of all process sections and sequences with automation engineers.

Site Start‑Up Responsibilities

Validate completion of pre‑commissioning activities.
Ensure all peripherals (e.g., water treatment systems, storage tanks) are operational.
Verify availability of raw materials, reagents, additives, and consumables.
Confirm safety devices (firefighting systems, vapor barriers, solvent traps) are operational and compliant with regulations.
Check that all permits are obtained by the client.
Ensure spare parts and laboratory facilities are available and functional.
Obtain formal agreement with the client and Desmet to proceed safely with start‑up.
Start up the plant, conduct operating tests, measure and fine
