OPW Engineered Systems

OPW Engineered Systems is pleased to announce the release of its new Kamvalok Flat Dry Disconnect Coupler and Adaptor. Engineered with all the same industry-leading features and benefits as traditional OPW Kamvaloks, the major technological advancement in the Kamvalok Flat is the incorporation of flattened connection points, including patent-pending smooth, flat-face poppets. This design effectively eliminates all cavities where liquid can pool and subsequently spill upon disconnection, reducing up to 85% of fluid loss at disconnect.

OPW Engineered Systems, part of OPW's Fluid segment within Dover Corporation, will showcase its new “Total Terminal Solutions” at this year's International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA) Trade Show, June 12-14 in Houston, TX.

Butadiene. Xylene. Toluene. Sulfuric acid. Potassium hydroxide. Even the names of these hazardous chemicals sound dangerous. In addition to potentially harming the health of humans and the environment if mishandled, they have another thing in common: they are very expensive to produce.

OPW Engineered Systems, part of OPW's Fluid segment within Dover Corporation, has added the LYNX coupler to its complete line of terminal solution offerings. Based on OPW Engineered Systems' existing couplers, LYNX incorporates a U-pin design that enables an operator to disassemble the coupler in a matter of seconds.

OPW Engineered Systems, part of OPW's Fluid segment within Dover Corporation, has launched the LQC Series Transfer Loading Safety Quick Coupling under its Hiltap brand. The patented design of the LQC (Locking Quick Connect) Series automatically prevents accidental disconnects when pressure is in the line. Plus, the LQC's advanced engineering and rugged durability allow the LQC to safely connect fluids for a wide range of temperatures and pressures – in-plant, through plant and out-of-plant.

One common acronym in the railroad industry that shippers hate to hear is NAR, short for Non-Accident Release. According to the Association of American Railroads (AAR), a NAR is “the unintentional release of a hazardous material while in transportation, including loading and unloading, but not involving an accident.” That means that NARs can consist of leaks, splashes and other product releases from railway tank cars that have improperly secured or defective valves, fittings, tank shells and other pieces of related equipment, while also including the venting of non-atmospheric gases from safety relief devices.

OPW Fluid Transfer Group has launched a new, dramatically redesigned website at www.opwftg.com. The new site embodies OPW Fluid Transfer Group's dedication to being a world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of world-class solutions that assist in the safe and efficient handling of hazardous bulk products.

The Endura Series Dual Split Flange (DSF) Swivel Joint from OPW Engineered Systems is specifically designed to transfer acids, solvents, petrochemicals and other toxic fluids, Endura Swivel Joints feature heavy-duty construction and unique design components that help make it the best available swivel technology in the industry.

OPW Engineered Systems has manufactured its VISI-FLO 1400 and 1500 Series Sight Flow Indicators to provide a quick, reliable and inexpensive way to verify flow rate and direction while monitoring color and clarity in fluid lines. Dollar for dollar, OPW sight flow indicators are the most cost efficient and effective way to visually monitor the flow of fluids and to determine where, if any, problems exist at certain points along the industrial process line.
