Fybroc FRP pumps perfect for "polishing up bilge water"

June 25th, 2010

As ship design has evolved, so, too, have conditions in the bilge. In the days of steam-powered vessels, water from a variety of sources, including valve and pipe leaks, boiler blow down, and steam condensate, drained into the lowest part of the ship's hull, the bilge. Diesel and gas-turbine-powered ships, however, don't have the boiler […]
