Commissioning, the start up of a newly constructed piece of equipment, is always a challenging problem. It is even more challenging in a research environment as the operation is more novel, the process information and operation less defined, and the equipment performance often less certain. Compared to a plant start up, the commissioning of a pilot plant or laboratory unit generally is less well organized and certainly less fully staffed.
