Deck 8: Process Technology-Systems One

Question 1

Draw a simple pump around system. Please include the following equipment. (Attach to Test)
a. pump & piping & tank & valves
b. Flow control to tank or from tank
c. Level control
d. Several instruments

Answer 1

To draw a simple pump around system, we will include the following equipment:

a. Pump, piping, tank, and valves: The pump will be connected to the tank through piping, and valves will be installed to control the flow of the liquid.

b. Flow control to tank or from tank: A flow control system will be included to regulate the flow of liquid either into the tank or out of the tank, depending on the requirements.

c. Level control: A level control system will be installed to monitor and maintain the level of liquid in the tank, ensuring it does not overflow or run too low.

d. Several instruments: Various instruments such as pressure gauges, flow meters, and temperature sensors will be included to monitor and control the system.

By incorporating these components, we can create a simple pump around system that efficiently moves and controls the flow of liquid within a closed loop.

Question 2

A compressor system is a simple arrangement of equipment designed to produce:

A) to add energy to compressed feedstocks
B) compressed; light hydrocarbon gases, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, chlorine, and a large variety of specialty gases.
C) clean, dry, compressed air or gas for industrial applications.
D) All the above

Answer 2

All the above

Question 3

A compressor system typically includes all of the following:

A) There are three primary parts of a gas turbine system; an axial compressor, a combustion chamber, and a gas turbine.
B) Process piping, valves, a compressor, a receiver, heat exchangers, dryers, back pressure regulators, gauges, and moisture removal equipment.
C) A combustion chamber is used in combination with each other it is frequently referred to as a gas generator. During operation, a fraction of the power generated by the turbine is used to run the compressor
D) Two electricians work on projects together to ensure personal safety. Process technicians closely monitor substation variables and electrical equipment operations. Worn belts on motor systems, exposed wiring, smoking motors, fires, arching, or strange electrical smells are reported immediately.
