Floating Suctions up to 750mm diameter
Talk to Ship & Shore about our wide range of options available to solve your floating suction requirements.
Tank owners and operators are increasingly using floating suctions to ensure fuel is taken from the highest level where impurities and contaminants are least likely to be situated. In the past, floating suctions were almost exclusively used with aviation fuels. These days many of our customers are installing floating suctions in diesel due to increased cleanliness demands from their customers.
