Question

Which is safer Batch process or Continous process equipment?

(a) Batch process

(b) Continuous process

(c) Both are equally safe

(d) Both are unsafe

I had been asked this question in quiz.

Origin of the question is Types of Process Equipments topic in section Nitration of Unit Processes

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) Continuous process

To explain I would say: Due to its relatively small size the continous process equipment has less material in it during processing hence it is safer than batch process.
