Preview Questions Process Technician | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the cause of inconsistent flow rates in a process pipeline, and how would you address it?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Overheating of the fluid; increase the temperature of the fluid to ensure smooth flow

Variations in ambient pressure; adjust the process pressure to compensate

Electrical surges; inspect electrical wiring and control systems

Blockages, leaks, or faulty control valves; check for obstructions and ensure proper valve operation

Question 2: How can you prevent static electricity buildup during the transfer of flammable liquids?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Increase the flow rate of the liquid to reduce friction during transfer

Avoid using any grounding equipment and manually check for sparks

Use plastic containers for transferring flammable liquids

Ensure that all containers and equipment are properly grounded and bonded

Question 3: When designing a data logging system for a batch reactor, which type of data storage method is recommended to handle large datasets effectively?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Cloud storage with automated backups

Local storage on the PLC

Data storage in Excel files

SD card-based storage

Question 4: If the motor on a filtration system fails to start, what would be the first troubleshooting step?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Inspect for mechanical jams in the filter

Verify power supply and motor connection

Replace the motor

Check the motor overload protection settings

Question 5: What is the primary purpose of using a PID controller in process monitoring for chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To calculate the cost of raw materials used

To maintain process variables within set limits by adjusting control elements

To monitor safety limits of the chemical process

To record production data for later analysis

Question 6: How can multivariable control help in process monitoring for chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It allows simultaneous control of multiple process variables to ensure system stability

It allows operators to manually adjust each variable independently

It optimizes only one parameter to maximize productivity

It automatically shuts down the plant if any parameter exceeds limits
