Safety solutions for vehicles and machines working in petrochemical plants
Chalwyn was the original manufacturer of the automatic air intake shut down valve in 1972 to Esso Fawley’s licensed flow operated valve design. The need for these types of valves became prevalent after a fatal accident at ICI Wilton in 1969. General awareness of diesel engine runaway in the UK oil and gas industry increased significantly after this unfortunate event which also led to numerous companies implementing safety policies.
Guarding against diesel engine runaway is just as important today as it was then. Chalwyn provides an essential control measure for the catastrophic consequences that can result from engine runaway by supplying a range of diesel engine safety products for equipment and vehicles operating at refineries, gas terminals, and oil storage sites.
