Question 1: How is liquid handling typically managed in a chemical process flow design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using complex filtration systems

By using pumps, valves, and gravity to control the movement and pressure of liquids

By using large tanks without automation

By relying only on manual intervention

Question 2: What does SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) indicate about a safety system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It indicates a moderate level of safety, where failure risks are still acceptable

It indicates a low level of safety, with high failure risks

It indicates an unreliable system that requires constant manual intervention

It indicates a high level of reliability, where failure probability is low and risks are minimal

Question 3: In safety system design, what is the role of an Emergency Shutdown (ESD) system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To manage the flow of hazardous materials under normal conditions

To increase energy efficiency

To reduce operational costs

To shut down equipment in the event of a process disturbance

Question 4: When designing an equipment layout that involves tanks, what is the primary consideration?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Placing tanks in the center of the plant for visibility

Ensuring that the tanks are positioned for easy loading, unloading, and maintenance

Tanks should be placed in areas with minimal flow of chemicals

Positioning them far from other equipment to minimize the risk of leaks

Question 5: In process flow design, what is the main purpose of specifying piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To visualize the flow of materials in a simplified manner

To provide detailed construction specifications

To provide operational instructions for the plant personnel

To show how equipment is interconnected

Question 6: In chemical process design, how does recycling streams impact the process flow?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It primarily reduces the need for heat integration

It improves efficiency by reducing raw material usage and lowering operating costs

It complicates the process design, increasing complexity

It has minimal impact on overall efficiency
