Question 105Motor Plants - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is B) Run two centrifuges in parallel as purifiers discharging to the third one in series as a clarifier. This configuration is effective in dealing with a large quantity of water in the fuel. Running two centrifuges in parallel as purifiers helps to remove a significant amount of the water, while the third centrifuge in series as a clarifier further separates any remaining water from the fuel. This series-parallel arrangement maximizes the efficiency of the fuel cleaning process compared to the other options. The other answer choices are less effective in this scenario. Option A would reduce the overall throughput, Option C would not adequately address the water contamination, and Option D would require more maintenance rather than optimizing the centrifuge configuration.
