70% to passIn the operation of a lube oil clarifier, the position of the oil/water interface should be _______________.
Anon-existent
Bmaintained by the number of disks in the disk stack
Cmaintained by the diaphragm-type, weir control valve
Dmaintained by the ring dam
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) non-existent. In the operation of a lube oil clarifier, the oil/water interface should not exist. The purpose of the lube oil clarifier is to separate the oil from any water or contaminants, resulting in a pure oil stream. If there is an oil/water interface visible, it indicates that the clarifier is not functioning properly and needs to be adjusted or serviced. The other answer choices are incorrect because the position of the oil/water interface is not maintained by the number of disks, the diaphragm-type weir control valve, or the ring dam. These components help regulate the flow and separation process, but the goal is to eliminate the oil/water interface altogether.
