Epsilon™ Low Spill Coupling System
OPW's EPSILON™ coupling system was designed to prevent
chemical spills and reduce fugitive emissions of volatile organic compounds
(VOC’s), particularly in the process facility and during transfer to
and from truck tanks and railroad tank cars. During in-plant chemical transfers,
EPSILON™ Chemical Containment System will provide your plant with process
flexibility while also improving operator safety and enhancing environmental
compliance and reducing overall capital expenditures and operating costs.
EPSILON™ is a low spill coupling, based on a double
ball valve system integrating a sophisticated safety design in sizes of 1",
2" and 3". The design is constructed to handle a pressure of 25
Bar and temperature up to 240°C and is available with end connections
complying to DIN and ANSI standards.
All wetted materials are 316 stainless steel (1.4401) with
TFM or PFA seals. Haselloy® C is also available for use with more aggressive
fluids.
Beyond the common advantages of a ball valve design, EPSILON™ provides
for flow through an unrestricted flowpath and double shut off reliability
in the coupling connection.
Safety:
EPSILON™ coupling is equipped with safety interlocks, which force
the valves to open and close only with a deliberate action, preventing accidental
opening of the valve.
Environment:
EPSILON™ is a low spill system, specified to less than 1 ml spillage
for the 2" coupling (2000 cycles test average 0.6 ml) and less than
0.7 ml for the 1" coupling.
Maintenance:
EPSILON™ was not only engineered for easy operations, but also for
quick replacement of the transfer seal without any lockout. No special tools
are required for replacement of seals.
