Emco Wheaton Canada ramps up to meet growing demand for dry disconnects

Emco Wheaton Canada has stepped up its ability to supply a wide range of dry-break couplings after identifying a growing need due to increased shale gas discoveries on the continent. Growing demand for the equipment also is coming from chemical transloading.
 
The company is stocking its shelves with both Emco Wheaton and TODO products, which is reducing lead times and helping ensure that clients receive their equipment quicker.
 
General Manager of Emco Wheaton Americas Darren Sabino said he and his team are especially aware of the need for spill-free transfer in low pressure applications such as DEF or Urea transfer and in loading and unloading of trucks and railcars.
 
“Our product range provides the largest collection of styles and materials to suite a range of working conditions and allows for spill-free disconnection and improved safety,” he said. “By speeding up our delivery we are able to help our clients increase their profit margins.”
 
The company also is meeting the needs of operators working with high-pressure applications such as the transfer of liquefied petroleum gas to supply ships, chemical plant applications, and solvent transfer.
 
Support for aftermarket has also been stepped up including improved availability of repair kits to ensure the long-term performance of Emco Wheaton products.
 
“With plants in Louisiana expanding their ability to produce petrochemicals from natural gas and discoveries of shale gas reserves resulting in an increase in product transfer, we have made sure we can match customers’ changing needs,” Sabino says. “With a quicker turnaround time and an improved aftermarket service, our customers are well positioned to exploit these new opportunities.”
