Surge is the worst conditions that a centrifugal compressor can have, so some control strategies have been developed to mitigate this. Which of the strategies below can be described as the measurement of differential pressures in the compressor, head and inlet flow pressure determines if action is required?
Even a peak operating boiler must be protected from various issues that effect it's performance. Which of the terms below would be best be prevented by adding chemicals that cause impurities to precipitate to the mud drum?
Which of the answers below is best described as the quantitative measurement of best controlled and manipulated variable pairings to limit loop interaction?
The graph below is an example of a typical positive displacement compressor. Which of the numbered points would best be described as when the discharge valve open due to pressure differential?
There are several common problems that can arise during a distillation columns operation. Which of the problems below can be described as when the vapour avoids the upper tray due to a lack of a seal in the downcomer from the tray above?
The breakdown of any one of the components of a SIF is hazardous. Which of the components below are the most prone to breakdown?
There a some conventional distillation column control strategies. Which of the strategies below is best described as a one that does not control output flows from the column?
Because steam demands can vary, there are several control methods that work in concert to ensure efficient boiler operation. Which of those strategies would be to control the volume of boiler feedwater sprayed in to the steam?
Which of the control terms below is best described as multiple controlled variables are affected by a single manipulated variable?

There are many factors in the proper working of a distillation column. Which of the answers below is one of those factors?
There are numerous undertakings in developing an SIS, this is called the safety life cycle. Which of the terms below relates best to the management of the live SIS system, including testing and repairs?
Which of the responses below is best described as although slower than ΒΌ amplitude decay, the response is stable and has no overshoot?
Surge is the worst conditions that a centrifugal compressor can have, so some control strategies have been developed to mitigate this. Which of the strategies below can be described as the measurement of differential pressures in the compressor, head and inlet flow pressure determines if action is required?
There are multiple parts to a large industrial water tube boiler. Which of the answers below is best described as a tube not directly heated, that allows thermal movement of water to the mud drum?
