Klaxon sirens prove a hit with Shell Chemicals

Sound and visual signalling specialist Klaxon Signals has recently completed installation of its sirens at Shell Stanlow, one of the major UK Shell sites

Sound and visual signalling specialist Klaxon Signals has recently completed installation of its sirens at one of the major Shell sites.

The Stanlow Manufacturing Complex, which is the only Shell refinery and petrochemical complex in the UK, has installed a number of siren configurations from the ES range at its four square mile site near Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.

The ES range of sirens provides electronic warning over large distances and has been designed for outdoor use with a durable and rugged construction.

ES sirens are particularly suitable for critical alarms such as toxic gas release, disaster and emergency warning, flood alert and COMAH alarms.

Clive Bould, Klaxon Technical Sales Engineer, said, "Klaxon worked closely with Shell for a number of months prior to the installation in order to identify and meet the safety requirements of the Ellesmere Port site and I am delighted that it has proved a success".

Stuart Warburton, the Site Fire and Security Manager, remarked, "We are very happy with the sirens and are confident that Klaxon has provided us with the best solution to enable us to notify our neighbours in the event of an off-site emergency.".
