German term or phrase: umgepumpt
Der Stickstoff wurde langsam über ein Entspannungsventil abgelassen und der Reaktor mit 5 bis 6 bar (bei Einsatz von Ethen) …..beaufschlagt und dadurch das Inertgas ausgetauscht.
Danach wurde die mit dem Katalysator gefüllte Festbettanordnung geöffnet, die Umlaufpumpe in Betrieb gesetzt und der Reaktorinhalt mit Reaktionsgas umgepumpt, bis nach ca. 30 Minuten so gut wie keine Gasaufnahme mehr feststellbar war.
