(i) The labels for the purification process process have been explained \ \ Explanation:\ Feed Stream: Inlet stream with 30% product, 5% sugars, 10% cells, and the rest water.\ \ \ \ Cell-Rich Stream: Outlet stream enriched in cells (90% cells, 2.5% sugars, 0.5% product, water).\ \ \ \ Purification Unit: Represents the process of separating product from cells and sugars.\ \ \ \ Product-Rich Stream: Outlet stream enriched in the desired product.\ \ Cell-Poor Stream: Outlet stream with reduced cell concentration after purification.\ \ ii) Mass Balances: For the feed stream:\ \ Mass of Product InMass of Sugars InMass of Cells InMass of Water In=0.30\\\\times Mass of Feed=0.05\\\\times Mass of Feed=0.10\\\\times Mass of Feed=1(Mass of Product In+Mass of Sugars In+Mass of Cells In)\ \ For the cell-rich stream:\ \ Mass of Product OutMass of Sugars OutMass of Cells OutMass of Water Out=0.005\\\\times Mass of Feed=0.025\\\\times Mass of Feed=0.90\\\\times Mass of Feed=1(Mass of Product Out+Mass of Sugars Out+Mass of Cells Out)\ \ iii) Composition of Product-Rich Stream:\ \ Mass of Product in Product-Rich StreamComposition of Product in Product-Rich Stream=Mass of Product InMass of Product Out=Total Mass of Product-Rich StreamXMass o
