A plant loses \( 1.2 \) litres of hexane per tonne of seed processed. Handling \( 300 \) tonnes a day, the daily loss is
Answer: A
Correct answer: 360 litres
The loss is a rate per tonne, so it scales with throughput:
\[ 1.2 \times 300 = 360\ \mathrm{litres\ per\ day} \]
The figure matters on three counts at once: hexane is bought and paid for, it is a fire and explosion hazard in the plant, and it is a regulated emission. Modern plants work to well under a litre per tonne, so 1.2 would prompt a survey of the desolventiser and the vent recovery system rather than being accepted as normal.
