Benefits of Screw Pumps in Shipbuilding Applications

Traditionally, centrifugal pumps have been a go-to technology that shipbuilders have used on their vessels for various fluid-transfer applications. This white paper, however, will show how an oftentimes overlooked pumping technology – positive displacement twin- and triple-screw pumps – can be a more versatile, reliable and efficient alternative to centrifugal pumps in the critical loading/unloading and transfer operations on the vessels that carry crude oil and finished petroleum-based products for the long-haul shipping industry.
