4. No bespoke or complex MBC monitoring systems required

The function of the Gall Thomson MBC is to automatically respond to emergencies without layers of monitoring or extra control systems.

Petal C is fully mechanical, self-energised and self-contained. Monitoring the PetalC with sensors is not required.

A Gall Thomson MBC therefore exists to simply deliver a dependable solution within a predefined set of emergency scenarios.

Minimising the variables required for managing an MBC therefore reduces the risk of unforeseen complications or operational malfunction due to any dependence on components beyond that of the MBC.

Gall Thomson MBCs offer the optimum solution in protecting offshore hose transfer systems.

An evolution of designs made possible through decades of on-going analysis of field verified performance data.
