Question 1: What method would you use to ensure the accuracy of a data logger that measures the temperature of a high-pressure reactor?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reducing the pressure in the reactor

Using a backup system for temperature data

Increasing the sample rate of the logger

Regular calibration using certified calibration standards

Question 2: What action should be taken if a recirculation valve in a reactor system is stuck open?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ignore the issue unless it causes a pressure drop

Increase the reactor temperature to balance the flow

Investigate the valve mechanism for blockages and replace or repair as necessary

Manually adjust the flow rate to compensate for the valve malfunction

Question 3: What action should be taken if a chemical storage tank is showing unexpected high levels?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

All of the above

Check for possible leaks or overflows

Inspect the level sensor for failure

Verify the tank's venting system

Question 4: 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 5: What is the purpose of vibration sensors on rotating equipment, such as motors and pumps?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To adjust the power output of the motor

To detect mechanical imbalances and prevent damage

To measure the flow rate of liquids

To monitor temperature changes in the system

Question 6: What is the primary purpose of a Process Safety Management (PSM) system in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To ensure compliance with environmental regulations

To reduce operating costs

To monitor production efficiency

To prevent accidents and control risks
