A feeding system for feeding an inlet material to a process system, comprising a pressure force unit, upstream of a flow force unit, configured to increase a pressure of an inlet material flow; and an upstream control valve configured to subject the inlet material flow to a pressure-drop; a control unit configured to control a start-up of the feeding system by: circulating the inlet material flow in a circulation loop, while a valve system is arranged in the first position; increase the pressure of the inlet material flow; subject the inlet material flow to a first pressure-drop; when the inlet material flow is circulating, arrange the valve system in the second position; subject the inlet material flow to a second pressure-drop, wherein the first pressure-drop is greater than the second pressure-drop.
