The Auxiliary Exhaust System collects steam from which noncondensing turbine-driven pump?

Explanation:
The Auxiliary Exhaust System is designed to collect and vent the steam exhaust from noncondensing turbine-driven pumps. The main-feed pump is the typical pump in ships that is driven by a small steam turbine whose exhaust is not condensed. That exhaust is routed to the auxiliary exhaust system so it can be vented separately from the main exhaust path. The boiler feed pump and main condensate pump are not normally the noncondensing turbine-driven devices accounted for in this system, and the auxiliary feed pump is usually electric-driven rather than a noncondensing turbine-driven pump. So the steam the auxiliary exhaust system collects comes from the main-feed pump.
