Floating Suction
Floating suctions are used within storage tanks for petroleum and aviation products. Suspended by the surface of the liquid, the inlet to the pump is held in the clean dense product irrespective of the constantly changing liquid level. For tanks with floating roofs, large bore roof skimmers move with the roof to drain away surplus liquid
Floating suctions come in a variety of designs to suit buried, above ground, semi-buried, vertical and horizontal tanks as well as for use with articulated drainage units with a floating ceiling/roof.
Alecon floating suctions range in size from 2” to 12”. Materials are generally stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminium.
We manufacture single arm and double arm both which is used for vertical and horizontal tank.
