A process equipment emits 5 kg/h of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).). If a hood placed over the process equipment captures 95% of the VOCs, then the fugitive emission in kg/h is

Correct Answer: (a) 0.25

A process equipment emits 5 kg/h of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).). If a hood placed over

the process equipment captures 95% of the VOCs, then the fugitive emission in kg/h is 0.25.

Explanation:

VOC emission = 5 Kg/h

Capturing Efficiency = 95%

Fugitive emission = \(\begin{align}
& \frac{5}{100}\times 5\,\text{Kg/h} \\
& =0.25\text{ Kg/h} \\
\end{align}\)
