OPW Loading Systems

The transfer of volatile, valuable, potentially toxic fluids requires highly engineered loading arms, couplers and swivels. OPW Engineered Systems is the global leader in the design and manufacture of products that transfer fluids SAFER, CLEANER, FASTER.

Success Story: SI Group

This success story demonstrates how the SI Group Manufacturing prefers OPW Engineered System's Drylock Disconnect Couplers and Adaptors for their outstanding safety features, with virtually no fluid loss and no exposure.

Drylok™ is designed to safely transfer hazardous corrosive, volatile liquids such as acids, solvents and petrochemicals. An interlocking handle averts accidental spills by preventing uncoupling while the valve is open. And, the unit's flat face minimizes fluid loss, further reducing exposure to risk during operation. Drylok™ is ideal for all kinds of hazardous fluids where product loss is a problem, such as high-pressure lines, high flow rates, slurries, and gases.
