Question

Sometimes in chemical processes, a part of the outlet stream is rejected as waste in order to keep the impurity level in the system within limits. This phenomenon is termed as

• A. Recycling
• B. Purging
• C. Bypassing
• D. Recirculation

Hint:

Purge streams help control inert build-up in recycle operations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Purging is used to prevent accumulation of inert or non-condensable gases in a system.
By removing part of the stream, the composition remains within acceptable levels.
