KLAW Eaergency release couplings

Principle: Cut off flow and achieve separation, and the conveying system is not under pressure

Achieve minimum leakage and 100% cutoff

KLAW ERC is a turning point in the transportation system that minimizes asset, personnel, reputation, and environmental risks.

The KLAW emergency shut-off valve (ERC) and emergency release system (ERS) minimize the risk of leakage by closing hoses or conveying the upstream and downstream media flow in the loading arm system. When a problem occurs, the flap valve closes and the emergency shut-off valve separates. Therefore, these joints can minimize asset and environmental risks and help prevent personal injury. The cost of cleaning has been significantly reduced, and the downtime has also been significantly reduced.

100% closure of the flow can minimize the risk of leakage, and is no exception when activated.

The KLAW emergency shut-off valve is an alternative to the pull bolt shut-off valve, using the KLAW hoop release mechanism. This cutting mechanism provides multiple manual control options and an automated system that can be activated without the need for any tensile load in the conveying system.

In this way, the cutting of the joint can be controlled under preset conditions or operating conditions. Therefore, compared to the Pull Off Valve (BAC) option, the Emergency Shutdown Valve (ERC) applies less pressure to the relevant hoses and pipelines. The KLAW emergency shut-off valve provides a range of control options and system design. KLAW can provide different specifications of emergency shut-off valves to meet your operational requirements: rope cut-off, hydraulic system equipped with HPU control device, manual pump, dual control emergency cut-off, and spring fixed cut-off. Loading arms and storage tank facilities are prone to separation due to loading or supplying carriers such as trucks and railway tankers.

The KLAW emergency shut-off valve and breakaway bolt breakaway valve (BAC) series can prevent the consequences of unprotected loading arm systems in the event of a separation event. During any operation, the loading arm and conveying hose may detach, and the ship may also move during loading and unloading operations. After the conveying is completed, if the joint does not trip or is not disconnected from the excess movement during operation, separation may occur. The KLAW emergency shut-off valve (ERC) and standard breakaway valve (BAC) can prevent the consequences of these events and avoid potential harm to the loading arm or conveying equipment.

KLAW Emergency Release System Control Options

The types of emergency shut-off control options available for KLAW emergency shut-off valves are:
