A Low Fire Limit Switch falls out of adjustment. Two weeks later an explosion and baghouse fire destroys the plant. How
do Operators prove all their safety interlocks are working every time they start
up and shutdown? _________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Fuel
Pressure for some unknown reason increases. Energy costs increases. All the
Operator notices is the falling production rates. How do Operators quickly check their fuel consumption rate? __________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Name 5 things that can cause dryer/baghouse explosions and fire while operating? ________________________________________________________________________ The
belt scale is accurate at the Lower Production Rate but inaccurate at higher
rates. The plant is in spec at 200 TPH but penalties are running up at 300 tph… How do Operators prove their belt scales performance at all rates?______________ _______________________________________________________________________ The
Batch Plant is continuously producing mix with high oil content. If the Fill or Discharge valve was the problem; which valve(s) may be the problem? ________________________________________________________________________Is it ( are they) plugging or leaking?_________________________________________ Could
the problem be caused by plugged Bin Feed gates?___Weigh hopper gate?___ Could
the problem be caused by leaky Bin Feed gates?___Weigh hopper gate?___ How
can the valves be checked while the plant is running? _____________________ _______________________________________________________________________ Material
conveying devices either feed, or are being fed material. If a conveyor stops,
the conveyor feeding it should also stop. How can the entire plant system of
conveying devices be checked out at the touch of a button?
______________ ________________________________________________________________________ A
leak develops between the dryer and the baghouse. Production drops. What two panel
instruments indicate to the
Operator where the problem is? _______________________________________________________________________ Torches and diesel fuel are often used to unplug unloading pipes. Name two
situations where using the combination may cause a A/C Tank explosion. _______________________________________________________________________ The asphalt unloading line is plugged. The operator is unaware of the danger and how to detect it. He unloads and the line fractures and sprays hot oil all over him. How
should he have proved the line to be free and open?______________________ ______________________________________________________________________ How
should he be immediately cared for?___________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ |
