mise en amorce

français vers anglais Sciences Chimie / génie chim. crystallization
In this chemical process, an intermediate product, let's call it "XST2", is being converted to "XST4". The main starting material is XST2, but another is "XST4 AMORCE" and it is added near the end. My understanding of the process is that after hydrolysis, washing, settling, then distillation, the XST4 produced is crystallised, and the crystallisation process is being "seeded" by addition of a small quantity of crystals of the end-product. Is seed/seeding of crystallisation the right word in this context?

"Refroidir le milieu à 20/25°C en masse en 30 min minimum. Amorcer au besoin à 20/23°C en masse avec XST4 AMORCE"

"Conditionner:
- en fût carton de 100 L à 40 kg net.
- double sac
Sur avis du chef de poste : conditionner 1 kg à part pour mise en amorce."

'for seeding' and see explanation

I agree with your reading but it's true that the core meaning of amorcer is start/initiate/promote.
For the last one, yes it looks like they package a small amount separately for future seeding.
For the other one how about this:
If required, promote [crystallization] at a core temperature of 20/23°C using SEED AST4

Title: (EN) NOVEL STEROIDAL ORGANIC SUBSTANCE CRYSTALLIZATION METHOD AND COMPOUNDS THEREBY OBTAINED
(FR) NOUVEAU PROCEDE DE CRISTALLISATION DE SUBSTANCES ORGANIQUES D'ORIGINE STEROIDIENNE ET LES COMPOSES AINSI OBTENUS

Abstract: (EN) A novel method is provided for crystallizing organic and particularly steroidal substances. In particular, a crystallization method is provided whereby a predeterminable and homogenous particle size class can be obtained non-mechanically, and wherein a substance is dissolved in a ternary mixture consisting of a lipophilic solvent, a hydrophilic solvent and a surface-active agent at a temperature close to boiling, whereafter the mixture is allowed to cool to a temperature at which crystallization is initiated and the crystals thereby formed are separated. The method can be used for producing pharmaceutical active principles.

(FR) La présente invention se rapporte à un nouveau procédé de cristallisation de substances organiques et notament stéroidiennes. La présente invention a spécifiquement pour objet un procédé de cristallisation qui perment sans opération mécanique d'obtenir une classe granulumétrique homogène pré-déterminable, qui consiste en ce que l'on dissout une substance dans un mélange ternaire formé d'un solvant lipophile, d'un solvant hydrophile et d'un agent tensio-actif à une température proche de l'ébullition puis laisse le mélange revenir à une température où la cristallisation s'amorce et sépare les cristaux formés.

..Hi helen, I don't see what difference that would make to the word you're looking for, one speaks of 'initiation' or an 'initiator' for the molecule, do you think it needs more than that ?
Note from asker:
Hello Daniel, my impression is that to "amorcer" with crystals of the same substance would be a specific type of initiation. I your ref, crystallisation is initiated by cooling.

Hello Manu, I haven't seen many refs for "priming" a crystallisation process, so I'm not sure it's the word of preference.
