High Pressure QC/DC Coupler. Emergency Release System (ERS)
The Emco Wheaton High Pressure Quick Connect/Disconnect Couplers (HP QC/ DC) are designed as the main part of the Emergency Release Systems (ERS) for fast and secured coupling procedures involved with High Pressure Natural Gas Arms.
Â
These systems ensure the highest level of safety when releasing a ship in case of an emergency.
Â
High Pressure Natural Gas Marine Arms are connected to a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU). Floating structures are in constant motion relative to the shore due to wind, waves and currents.
Â
While the transfer arm is designed to operate within a dedicated working envelope, the system might be required to automatically disconnect in a safe manner to avoid damage in case of an abnormal or accidental situation (sudden storm, failure of mooring system or effects of a passing-by ship). This safety function is provided by a system called Emergency Release System (ERS).
