Cable: Pencosales NewYork An 18" PrimaVac Unit for the 12,000 gpm cargo pumps on the 86,000 dwt tankers. • It is with great pride that we serve this pro- gressive company whose fleet will include over 200 vessels totalling in excess of 20,000,000 dwt by the end of 1974. Our contribution to the performance of 59 of these ships is a system that converts any centrifugal pump to an auto- matic, self-priming pump, reducing pumping and stripping time over 30%. This system completely eliminates costly in- dependent stripping pumps and priming sys- tems. It is not dependent upon auxiliary controls, is easily installed and operates with minimum maintenance. The PrimaVac System is being installed on tankers of the Sanko Fleet ranging from 26,000 to 154,000 dwt. Other installations throughout the world have been made on tankers from 20,000 to 255,000 dwt with pump capacities from 625 to 20,000 gpm. Systems can be furnished for any pump size and capacity, with standard units available with discharge diameters of up to 30 inches.
