In about 50 words

Answer 1

a) Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or electromagnetism.
b) The above-ground tanks at the refinery serve as the temporary, downstream staging point for the crude oil that has traveled to this location via pipeline, rail car, truck tanker or ocean vessel. Apart from crude oil arriving via pressurized pipeline, all of the other aforementioned Transportation methods will require process pumps to unload their cargo and to transfer it to the Storage tanks. This crude oil inventory will support the smooth and around-the-clock operation of the refinery. Tank Loading systems handle this task.
c) Chlorination is the most widely used method of disinfecting water systems and water supplies. Chlorine is highly effective at eliminating the risks posed by bacteria and viruses that naturally occur in water. It has been used to help sanitise our water supplies for more than a hundred years and Legionella is one of the bacteria that chlorination aims to combat.
