KLAW marine breakaway couplings and emergency release systems minimise the risk of spills and help maintain efficient transfer of oil, gas and other media within the marine environment. For fast and safe hose connection the KLAW range includes camlock couplings, and the swivel joints range reduces stress and fatigue on hose systems. Safety marine breakaway couplings The KLAW safety breakaway system shuts down flow when an event occurs. This activation is caused either by unacceptable strain on the system or an extreme pressure surge. If a KLAW safety breakaway coupling is not fitted then the spillage and trauma to the transfer system could well cause damage to assets such as hoses and loading arms, injury to personnel, extended downtime, costly oil spill clean-up and pollution to the environment. KLAW Flip-Flap valve The KLAW Flip-Flap valve is the most reliable and efficient solution to the risk of spillage in the oil and gas industry. Instantaneous closure with 100% shut-off is achieved even when partial separation occurs. Minimum headloss also offers the highest levels of flow efficiency. Marine breakaway coupling The KLAW marine breakaway coupling (BAC) provides instantaneous double closure with 100% shut-off. The KLAW BAC operates within the hose string and resists bending moments and torsional forces so that premature activation is avoided. Typical applications: ship-to-ship transfer, ship-to-shore transfer, ship-to-rig transfer, marine refuelling. Ambient emergency release coupling The KLAW emergency release coupling (ERC) offers all the benefits of the KLAW marine breakaway coupling but with the added advantages of additional control options and the facility to activate without relying on any stress on the hose or transfer system. The ERC has a collar release mechanism and is available as cable, hydraulic,dual or with a manual hand pump override. The release mechanism option depends on the requirements of the transfer system. The ERC is fixed with the hose connection at the other end. Typical applications: ship-to-ship transfer, ship-to-shore transfer, loading arm, truck loading arm and hose assemblies. Cryogenic emergency release coupling The KLAW cryogenic emergency release coupling contains the operational benefits of the ambient ERC but is designed for cryogenic temperatures to -196ºC (-346ºF). Typical ERC cryogenic applications: ship-to-ship transfer, ship-to-shore transfer, loading arm, truck loading arm and hose assemblies. Full bore breakaway coupling Providing 100% instantaneous double shut-off but no line restriction, the KLAW full bore BAC is the most efficient breakaway coupling of its type in the industry. The coupling fits within a hose string and is fully piggable and is not affected by clogging. This means much lower maintenance costs and down time. Typical applications: ship-to-ship transfer, ship-to-shore transfer, ship-to-rig transfer, marine refuelling, cutting fluid operations and flowback operations. Quick connect and disconnect hose lines with no spillage Lightweight and easy to use, this range of couplings offers quick, safe and dry connections within the harsh offshore environment. KLAW LNG STS (ship-to-ship) and LNG bunkering The KLAW LNG range of LNG system solutions offers safe and efficient transfer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for ship-to-ship (STS), ship-to-shore and LNG bunkering. KLAW ship-to-ship LNG transfer systems are globally respected for delivering systems that meet the very high standards of performance that is demanded in the efficient and safe transfer of LNG. KLAW has been leading the technology for safe LNG vessel refuelling systems and is meeting the demands of the ever-evolving LNG bunkering sector. Swivel joints KLAW swivel joints are designed to reduce stress and fatigue on hose systems and loading arms. KLAW swivel joints extend the life of hoses, aid hose handling and reduce maintenance costs and downtime. Welin camlock couplings The Welin camlock coupling delivers an efficient method of connecting and disconnecting flanged hose connections. Compared with draft pins, studbolts and nuts, the Welin camlock coupling provides much improved safety and reduces risk to fingers. Each cam takes only five seconds to connect and is impossible to loosen once deployed in a pressurised line. Advice and aftersales care KLAW offers expertise and aftersales service either direct or through its global distributor network. Support includes advice, training, resetting and refurbishment, preventative maintenance and spares kits.
