Emergency Shutdown Devices (ESD)

The principle benefit of an Emergency Shutdown Device (ESD) is to protect personnel and public from exposure to a chlorine gas leak, as well as saving associated plant and equipment from corrosion. WestWater designs and manufactures its own Emergency Shutdown Device, known as the ChlorShield. The ChlorShield is an automatic emergency isolation device for chlorine gas cylinders and drums for use in areas such as water & wastewater treatment, swimming pools and industrial plants. It is intended to shut the primary isolation valves on these containers in the event of detecting a significant gaseous chlorine leak.
