A pilot plant is built before a full-scale plant chiefly to

  • A.Produce the first commercial output
  • B.Train the sales team
  • C.Satisfy the building regulations
  • D.Test the process at intermediate scale

Answer: D

Correct answer: Test the process at intermediate scale

A pilot plant tests at a scale between the laboratory and the works, where the problems of continuous operation, heat transfer, handling and fouling first appear. It is far cheaper to discover them there than in a full-scale plant, and the data it gives is what makes a confident scale-up possible.
