Marine Duty Supply and Exhaust Fans

Offshore and marine applications present complex ventilation and safety requirements. Eldridge Marine Duty Axial Fans are constructed to meet the challenge.

Eldridge was on the scene at the very beginning of the offshore oil exploration boom in the 1950’s, when the first offshore drilling rigs were launched.  Long-time owner, Walter Leseman, played a key role in developing the ventilation systems for most of the rigs that were being built.  Today, Eldridge continues to develop solutions for offshore drilling rigs all over the world.
