ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for transportation and agitation of a substance having solid and liquid constituents. The method includes the steps of loading an intermodal pressure vessel onto an over-land intermodal carrier, the intermodal pressure vessel having a plurality of agitators located at therein, at least one of the plurality of agitators including an electric motor located entirely within the pressure vessel and being capable of operation within the pressure vessel when pressurized. The substance to be transported is conveyed into the intermodal pressure vessel which is then transported to a shipping port. At the shipping port, the intermodal pressure vessel is loaded from the over-land intermodal carrier onto a ship for overseas transportation. During transportation, at least some of the solids to settle and form a sediment on a floor portion of the intermodal pressure vessel. To resuspend the solids, an electric power source on at least one of the over-land carrier and the ship is connected to the electric motor to activate the motor and thereby cause the sediment to mix with the liquid.
