High Pressure QC/DC Coupler. Emergency Release System (ERS)
The Emco Wheaton High Pressure QC/DC Couplers are designed as the main part of the Emergency Release Systems (ERS) for fast and secured procedures.
Learn More
Vapor Cones and Plates
Adding a vapor cone or plate with a vapor recovery system on the arm, this improves the profitability of the terminal because vaporized product can be recovered and does not pollute the environment.
Learn More
Heating Systems
Designed to keep loaded fluids in a liquid state, used for products with low and middle temperature ranges or if there is no other heating media available.
Learn More
Telescopic Drop Tube
is used with a bottom contact switch, ensuring that the drop tube is permanently in touch with the bottom of the tanker being loaded. Our telescopic drop tubes can be either manually or pneumatically operated. Manually operated telescopic drop tubes are robust and have a short installation.
Learn More
Overfill Safety Device
Secondary safety system which prevents product overflow, for example in the case of an incorrect pre-selected loading amount.
Learn More
Mechanical
Our mechanical Quick Release System provides automatic disconnection of a loading arm in the event of a tanker accidentally driving away. Simultaneously the product flow will be shut off both upstream and downstream of the disconnection point.
Learn More
Parallel Device for Bottom Loading Arms
The arm is fitted with six swivels for complete 3-axis movement of the tanker connection, allowing for tanker height changes during filling/discharge. The arm is additionally fitted with a parallel bar that holds the tanker connection arm ("B"-length) in a horizontal position irrespective of the primary arm ("A"-length) position. This makes tanker connection and disconnection much easier. The B-length also has a gas spring fitted allowing the operator to raise and lower the B-length with total ease.
Learn More
Hose Release System
Our Hose Release System is used for the protection of loading hoses during loading/unloading of barges, providing environmentally safe handling of loading hoses.
Learn More
Pneumatic
Our pneumatic Quick Release System provides automatic disconnection of a loading arm in the event of a tanker accidentally driving away whilst simultaneously shutting off the product flow both upstream and downstream of the disconnection point.
Learn More
SURELOK Couplings
Represent the most innovative method of producing fast and tight connection between two hoses or a vessel and a hose. These couplings comply with the safety requirements of the chemical and oil industries.
Learn More
Hydraulic
Our Hydraulic Quick Release System E0790 is used for the automatic separation of a connected loading arm from a tank vehicle in the event of an accidental drive-away whilst still connected. In this event, there is minimal loss of pressure in the rest of the connected supply.

- Wide experience - With the biggest installed base of the world's CNG applications, Emco Wheaton is today’s market-leading manufacturer of High Pressure Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Marine Loading Arms. CNG is gathering strong momentum and Emco Wheaton is fully prepared to provide transfer solutions for the growing demand of this natural gas.
- Maximum safety - The safety and integrity of our customer’s operations are our top priority. Our High Pressure Marine Loading Arms are designed to operate within a dedicated working envelope. The system can 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 the Emergency Release System (ERS).Â
- Engineered to Order -Â We understand that each customer is unique, and that each operation has a specific set of needs and challenges. That is why we partner with our customers, working closely with them to deliver a solution that is tailored to meet their specific demands; regardless of the industry or application.
Standards and Certificates -Â Our high pressure marine loading arms are designed to meet the OCIMF 2019Â as well as EC Directives (ATEX, PED). - Easy Installations - Our high pressure marine loading arms are designed for ease of installation with the assistance of a crane.
Minimum maintenance -Â Emco Wheaton high pressure marine loading arms require minimal maintenance and all product seals can be replaced without scaffolding or dismantling the loading arm itself. - Reliable -Â Built with legendary quality and reliability, Emco Wheaton loading arms are connected almost permanently to the FSRU. We use the best materials and components to ensure a high level of corrosion resistance and safe operation.
