🔍 Key Concepts

• Stripping a cargo tank means removing the last residues of liquid that the main cargo pumps cannot pick up • Different pump types have different abilities to handle very low suction heads and small remaining volumes • Consider how priming, NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head), and ability to self‑suction affect stripping performance

💭 Think About

• Which of these devices is normally used specifically for small remaining quantities that the main cargo pump cannot reach? • Which pump type generally works poorly when suction conditions are marginal or the liquid volume is very small? • Think about which options are commonly used as main cargo pumps versus stripping pumps on tankers

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are commonly used as stripping systems on tankers (including non‑mechanical devices) • Check which pump type is most sensitive to loss of suction and loss of prime when the liquid level is very low • Ask yourself: which option on the list is normally relied on for bulk transfer, not for the last few inches of cargo?
