Intro to Process Technology Test 1
Primary purpose of a hot work permit
Any job that produces a spark, excess heat, or burning
Cat cracking uses blank to separate mixtures
Catalyst
Primary methods of heat transfer
Conduction, convection, and radiation
PSM
Process Safety Management
Differences between pumps and compressors
Pumps are primarily used for liquid, compressors for gasses
Two broad categories of bearing types include
Radial, and Axial
What factor is controlled by industrial hygienists
Recognition, control, and evaluation of hazards
How do safety valves and release valves differ
Relief generally for liquid, Safety for gasses
Purpose of a steam trap
Removal of condensate from steam systems
Distillation does what
Separation, conversion, and treatment
What two inventions changed the direction of modern chemical processing
The invention of the automobile and the light bulb
Definition of flash point
The lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air
Definition of toxicology
The science that studies effects of harmful or noxious effects of chemicals on living substances
What happens to a process technician who has experienced hearing loss due to excess noise
They never recover
Purpose of a tank dike
To contain oil in case of a collapse
Purpose of HAZCOM
To ensure process technicians can safely handle, transport, and store chemicals
Primary purpose of the cooling tower?
To remove heat from water
Primary purpose of a heat exchanger
Transfer energy between fluids without contacting each other
Thermal cracking
Uses heat and pressure to separate mixtures
Distillation is a process that does what in the separation process
Vaporizes and separates from lighter components
Heat energy is transferred from where to where
Warmer to colder
What do you do when entering an operating unit for the first time
Wear PPE, report to the control room, and follow safety rules
When a vacuum is pulled on a distillation column what happens to the boiling point
Boiling point is lowered
What type of hammer produces no spark
Brass
Definition of potable water
Drinking water
Two types of pumps and compressors
Dynamic, and positive placement
Who took an old steam engine and adapted it to fit a drill in 1859
Edwin Drake
Prescription glasses may be substituted for safety glasses
False, prescription glasses must be worn underneath safety glasses
Moving parts in a machine produce heat causing rapid deterioration and what if not lubricated properly
Friction\Damage
Which type of valve is most likely to be used for throttling in the process industry
Globe
What type of PPE is required when using hand tools
Gloves
Most important protection against falling objects in the field
Hard Hat
What is the purpose of a process furnace
Heat large quantities of hydrocarbons
Early manufacturers were able to extract how many barrels of gasoline for every 100 barrels of oil
eleven
Modern manufacturers can extract how many barrels of gasoline from 100 barrels of oil
forty five
