Commissioning activities refractory dry out of clay tower or reactor.steps are as follows
Check blinding diagram confirm the blinding is done.

1. Start hydrogen gas through reactor of purity 90%

2. Take heater in line Take burners inline, 
3. Increase the temperature 10 deg per hour accordingly increase the burner.
4. Achieve the temp. For example in case of Isomer it may be around 350 deg. or
suggested by vendor. Take hourly sample on gas and give it to lab.
5. Observe the Co2 contain Initial stages co2 will increased then it will decreased.
6. We can do dry out of clay tower by passing hydrocarbon through clay tower, and
quantify the water contained in boot compressor trial of double stage
compressor.

Confirm de blinding is done add nitrogen take leak test confirm no leak is there then
add hydrogen pressurized and depressurized the loop. confirm the loop is has nitrogen
less than 0.5 % start oil pump, and cooling water pump, open suction and discharge
