MBC Petal Valve Flip-Flap Valve Klaw Marine Breakaway Coupling Manufacturer
Description
Marine Breakaway Couplings (MBCs) are essential safety devices that
ensure safety in offshore oil and gas transfer systems. These
couplings are designed to immediately separate two joined sections
of transfer hoses in case of high tension or excessive load. The
main purpose of MBCs is to avoid a potential environmental disaster
by reducing the risk of spills and damage to the transfer system
and the surrounding structures.
MBCs are of paramount importance in the marine industry. These
highly-specialized couplings are typically installed at either the
end of a pipeline, hose, or at a vessel’s manifold points. MBCs
come in different sizes, configurations and can be customized to
specific requirements, operating conditions, and transfer systems.
MBCs also incorporate a quick-release mechanism that is often
remotely activated, allowing for rapid disconnection of the
transfer system in an emergency. This vital feature ensures that,
in cases of sudden high tension or excessive load in the transfer
system, the MBC allows the system to separate quickly and safely.
Overall, the primary function of MBCs is to provide safety and
security in offshore transfer systems to ensure that any potential
risks to the environment, personnel, and equipment are minimized.

Features
1. Quick Release Mechanism: MBCs incorporate a quick-release mechanism, usually remotely
actuated, that allows for the rapid disconnection of transfer hoses
in case of high tension or excessive load. This feature minimizes
any risks, damage, or spillage that may occur in case of unforeseen
incidents.
2. Customization: MBCs can be customized to meet specific operational requirements
and are available in different sizes and configurations. These
couplings can be tailored to specific pipeline and hose sizes,
fluid types, and operating conditions.
3. Reliable Operation: MBCs are designed and tested to ensure reliable operation in harsh
marine environments. With proper maintenance and regular
inspection, MBCs provide long-lasting and dependable safety
features.
4. Easy to use: MBCs offer end-users and operators of offshore transfer systems a
user-friendly and straightforward design. Once installed, they can
be easily connected and disconnected.
5. Cost-effective: Although MBCs are specialized safety devices, they provide vital
safety features and are a cost-effective solution for mitigating
any potential environmental hazards or operational risks in the
offshore environment.
Applications
● Oil and Gas Transfer
● Chemical Transfer
● LNG Transfer
● Fluid Transfer
● Offshore applications
Advantages
◆ Additional Safety Layer: MBCs provide an additional layer of safety
in offshore transfer systems, protecting equipment and personnel
from damage and injury if an unexpected hose or pipeline tension or
any other excessive loads occur.
◆ Environmental Protection: In case of a hose or pipeline rupture
or disconnection, MBCs quickly activate to prevent spills and
minimize environmental damage.
◆ Operational Efficiency: MBCs minimize downtime in case of
incidents, which promotes operational efficiency and ensures the
smooth operation of offshore activities.
◆ Customization: MBCs can be customized to meet specific
operational requirements, including hose and pipeline sizes and
transfer fluid types, ensuring they can be adapted to meet
individual project needs.
◆ Cost-effective: Although MBCs are specialized safety devices,
they are cost-effective because they can prevent significant
environmental damage and equipment downtime in case of an
unexpected incident.
