are designed to separate and close in an emergency such as vessel drift or extreme and damaging pressure surge events. Gall Thomson MBCs are therefore designed to protect operations, people, assets and the environment.

PetalC is an evolution of the Gall Thomson Petal Valve MBC and uses tried and tested technology that has delivered reliable performance for more than 40 years.

This evolution is informed by knowledge gained from over 340 successful MBC activations. It is this unique collation of ? eld veri? ed MBC activation experience that has enabled this new standard of performance for MBC technology.
