Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — Throughput too low
Low throughput reduces the residence time and centrifugal separation efficiency, but specifically in automated modular purifiers, insufficient feed flow can trigger low-pressure alarms due to inadequate back-pressure or improper sensing loop parameters across the discharge paring disc.
