Good design criteria, an excellent clean‐up and the best knowledge with regard to the philosophy of operation allows a fast start‐up and a reduction of the time to reach the designed steady‐state conditions in the alkylation units. Presented are the findings after starting‐up three new alkylation units as well as the difficulties encountered and their possible solutions.
