Question:

For the production of drying oil shown as Project B.4 in Appendix B do the following:

1. Construct a process conditions matrix (PCM) for the process, and determine all conditions of special concern.

2. For each condition of special concern identified in Part (a), suggest at least one reason why such a condition was used.

3. For each condition of special concern identified in Part (a), suggest at least one process alternative to eliminate the condition.The process flow diagram is shown in Figure B.4.1. ACO is fed from a holding tank where it is mixed with
