Minimising Spillage During Connection/DisconnectionIn an age of environmental considerations the use of Dry Break Coupling Systems is a must for all companies using and transferring hazardous or expensive materials
By: James Davies Recent high profile environmental incidents involving spillage of hazardous materials has highlighted the need for reliable couplings. Many companies are still using basic non-valved quick release coupling systems where the risk of spills on inadvertent coupling disconnection are high. Using a Dry Disconnect Coupling system can minimise, or in the case of Dry Link Drybreak Coupling, eliminate this risk entirely. Many companies have to resort to using spill kits to contain the results of a spillage problem. Why have this problem in the first place, putting the employees, clients and the environment at risk? Whilst dry disconnect coupling systems require a higher initial outlay, in the long term, maintained correctly they repay their cost, give the user added peace of mind and remove the cost of expensive cleanup operations. Maintenance Too often these couplings are fitted by the client, which expects them to operate without any maintenance or regular inspection. This is clearly not the case. They have moving parts which must be inspected and maintained correctly. In the case of Dry Link, each coupling carries an individual identification number which enables them to be tracked to help in the maintenance programmes users should have in place. Ensuring safety Dry disconnect systems can greatly enhance the working conditions of employees and reduce the risk of product loss and consequent environmental impact. Having a maintenance programme in place will secure the investment and increase the life cycle of the fitting.
