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

  1. 0.25
  2. 4.75
  3. 2.50
  4. 0.48

Correct answer: 0.25

Solution

The hood captures 95% of the 5 kg/h of VOCs, which means it allows 5% to escape. Calculating 5% of 5 kg/h gives 0.25 kg/h as the fugitive emission.
