Pump developed by Sulzer Bros for Shell Tanker Co, to deal with special cargoes was required to discharge cargo quickly, strip tank to lowest practical level, to be virtually self priming, and to be free from explosion and fire hazards; hydraulic motor, which is submerged in liquid cargo when in loaded condition, operates at pressure of 1750 psi on oil which is pressurized in engine room; 2 prototype units were installed in 19,300-ton dw tanker Arianta; pump diagram is shown.
