Question 68Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer
70% to passTank stripping is accomplished more effectively by using _______________.
Aa multi-stage centrifugal pump
Ba positive displacement pump
Cthe water displacement method
Dthe load on top system
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) a positive displacement pump. Positive displacement pumps are more effective for tank stripping operations compared to other pump types. This is because positive displacement pumps can generate the high suction required to efficiently remove residual liquids from the bottom of storage tanks. In contrast, centrifugal pumps or the water displacement method may not be able to generate enough suction to fully strip the tank. The load on top system is a method for loading/unloading cargo, not for tank stripping.
