Correct Answer: Option D — Disassemble the entire unit, clean all components, replace any defective gaskets and use the proper lubricants where required.

Purifier maintenance requires complete disassembly to thoroughly clean sludge accumulation, inspect all components, and replace compromised gaskets and seals. Proper lubrication of specific threaded parts and moving boundaries during reassembly prevents galling and ensures leak-free high-speed centrifuge operation.
