AThe water may be removed through the water drain valve or through the sludge ports during the sludge discharge cycle.
BThe separator is used to remove solids from the processed liquid; therefore the accumulation of water does not present a problem.
CWhen the unit is secured and the bowl stops rotating, the water is drained off the bottom of the bowl through orifice ports.
DWater may only be removed from the bowl when the unit is secured and the bowl hood is removed.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) The water may be removed through the water drain valve or through the sludge ports during the sludge discharge cycle. This is the correct answer because separator systems are designed to remove water and sludge from the processed liquid. The water that accumulates in the separator bowl can be drained through the water drain valve, and any remaining sludge can be discharged through the sludge ports during the sludge discharge cycle. The other answer choices are incorrect because B) the separator is used to remove solids, not to accumulate water, C) the water is not drained through orifice ports when the unit is secured, and D) the water can be removed without removing the bowl hood.
