🔍 Key Concepts

• contaminated drains in a steam plant and why they are a problem • the meaning of the word inspection in the name of the tank • how oil in condensate affects boilers and feedwater systems

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if a tank is called an inspection tank, what must operators be able to do with what’s inside it? • Which choice best protects the boiler and feed system from damage due to oil contamination? • Which option describes a function that must happen before contaminated drains are sent back to the feed system or discharged?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly involves checking/assessing the condition of the drains, not just heating, cooling, or supplying water. • Rule out any answer that could be done by a normal condensate tank or feed tank without the word ‘inspection’ in its name. • Focus on the function that helps you detect oil in condensate before it reaches critical equipment.
