As mentioned in Section 2.2, the simulation model is not able to include all real effects occurring during the real start-up process into the simulation. Therefore, the results should be mainly qualitatively interpreted, but nonetheless, they are still very well suited to compare different start-up strategies. For all simulation results, the start-up process is considered complete, when all products reach the specified purity requirement of 98 mol%, which was set in the design process of the mDWC .
