English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Food & Drink / vegetable oil deodorizing plant

English term or phrase: i.o.

Any idea what this expands to?

Context:

3.10 Barometric water system

As to minimise smell and odour problems, the barometric water is not cooled in an open dirty cooling water tower but indirectly in plate heat exchangers. In addition, the closed barometric cooling water loop allows working with chilled water, which results in a more economical vacuum unit. When using relatively cold barometric water for 841A, only one thermocompressor is required (*i.o.* two). Consequently, motive steam consumption and effluents are minimised.

FYI: The author is Belgian, presumably Flemish.
