Best Answer

Standard emergency blow air tanks hold 3000psi air in them. However, they aren't normally used; during normal surfacing operations, a boat comes to periscope depth, raises its snorkel mast, then forces the water out using a Low Pressure Blower, which is essentially just a large hi-capacity fan. Sea pressure isn't that much above 100', so it takes a lot less pressure to force the water out with the LPB.

What capacity of pump to be used to lift water at a height of 10 mtr?

Capacity is more usually used to refer how much water the pump can shift in a minute, you're looking for something else. Having the pump 10 meters above the waterline is just about borderline possible, the pump must be able to pull a near vacuum to get the water that high. Pushing water 10 m above the level of the pump OTOH is no big deal.
