Question 1: If a heat exchanger in a chemical process is not transferring heat effectively, what should be your first step?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

All of the above

Inspect for fouling on the heat exchange surface

Verify the pressure differential across the exchanger

Check the flow rates of the fluids involved

Question 2: How should data logging systems handle large volumes of data generated in real-time chemical processes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By storing all raw data without processing to ensure no loss of information

By using efficient data compression techniques and optimized storage methods

By averaging the data to reduce storage requirements

By transmitting all data directly to the cloud without local storage

Question 3: How should you troubleshoot a corroded pipe in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Apply a protective coating to prevent further corrosion

Increase the flow rate to bypass the corroded section

Inspect for potential chemical incompatibility and replace damaged sections

Reduce the pressure in the pipe to prevent leaks

Question 4: In process monitoring, control loops are used to:

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Monitor maintenance schedules

Track personnel work hours

Record data for later analysis

Automatically adjust process variables to maintain optimal conditions

Question 5: In a distillation unit, what is the most common use of pressure data logging?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To regulate the flow of steam into the unit

To calculate the amount of raw material consumed

To detect deviations that may indicate equipment malfunction or inefficiency

To monitor the temperature of the column
