Engineered for maximum performance and accuracy and minimum of operating expenses

CIRCOR International, Inc., a leading manufacturer and marketer of differentiated technology products and sub-systems, announces its new IMO LB6D 3-screw pumps, ideal for use in oil and gas industry lease automatic custody transfer (LACT) applications. Built to last for LACT boost operations, the IMO LB6D pumps are engineered for maximum functional performance and the minimum of operating expenses. 

“We are excited about this new product introduction,” said Chris Sahlman, CIRCOR vice president and general manager for Pumps Americas. “CIRCOR has a long legacy of providing robust heavy and medium gravity crude oil pipeline pumps with our IMO brand. The LB6D allows us to better serve the market on lighter crudes.” 

With IMO LB6D three-screw pumps, LACT system builders and oil drillers have a pump they can rely on despite challenging crude oil viscosities and oil contaminants prevalent in harsh field conditions. The screw pumps offer high-pressure boost advantages, with boost oil pressure better than typical gear pump solutions. They also offer less downtime; new pump technology forms protective closures around contaminants, reducing or eliminating costly maintenance intervals experienced from direct wear on gear pumps. The IMO LB6D Series’ wear resistance increases service life based on competitive laboratory accelerated wear testing.

“Advancements in CIRCOR technology has allowed us to develop a proprietary manufacturing process which extends the mean time between failure,” said Kent Jackson, Sr. product manager. “Our new design greatly reduces our customers’ operating life cycle costs.” 

The IMO LB6B pumps feature thoughtful engineering, with surface hardness similar to ceramic in the housing bores and a silicon carbide mechanical seal design for limited distortion.

IMO pumps are available for a very wide range of fluids, with viscosity from 1.5 to more than 100,000 centistoke (cSt) and temperatures ranging from 0 to 500oF. They are offered for flow rates from 2-3,300 gallons per minute and pressures up to 2,500 pounds per square gauge.

New features include hydrogen ready check and information about spare parts and products

CIRCOR International, Inc., a leading manufacturer and marketer of differentiated technology products and sub-systems, continuously enhances the digital experience of its consumers by updating its industry leading CIRCORSmart™ app. This app provides a broad range of capabilities, giving users secure, round-the-clock access to critical technical information for over 860,000 products from any web-connected device. CIRCOR’s latest round of updates further expand the functionality and number of products covered by the app, putting even more power at the tip of users’ fingers.

One of the innovative new capabilities included in the updates is a hydrogen ready check. This feature allows users to check whether their RTK valves are ready for the hydrogen fuel economy. Expanding on the order and request quotes feature for spare parts, RTK now offers cover gaskets, spindle packing, cones, flange connections, seat rings and diaphragms for their valves (where applicable) as well as potentiometer, REPOS, transmitter, and feedback module for their REact actuators at the simple click of a button. This makes all necessary details available 24 hours a day for channel partners to check, approve, and confirm the latest prices and discounts to our customers. In line with the expansion of available product information in CIRCORSmart, Schroedahl channel partners are overwhelmed to be able to obtain the standard replacement valve prices. 

With Leslie Regulators and R.G. Laurence, two new product lines have been introduced into CIRCORSmart. Leslie regulators have established themselves as a leading flow control engineered solution. Customers globally across the power generation, maritime, industrial, and oil and gas industries trust these regulators for challenging applications, including those that demand 99% accuracy and severe service control valves requiring near 0% leakage.

R.G. Laurence valves continue CIRCOR’s legacy of innovation. These on/off control valves prove effective in conditions that demand quick opening and tight shutoff, such as applications in power and process sectors. The tough structure of these products also qualifies them as the valve of choice for high temperature and severe service situations. Like the Leslie regulators, the CIRCORSmart™ app makes this product available at all times for users to access critical product performance and maintenance information. New products will be accordingly equipped with the CIRCORSmart™ QR code. It is also possible to upgrade legacy products with a new name plate to include the QR code for scanning via the app. Please reach out to your local CIRCOR representative to find out more.

CIRCORSmart™ is available for download from both the App Store for Apple devices and Google Play for Android. Or you can enjoy the new desktop version for easy access via PC. Find more information about the app and the link to download it here: https://www.circor.com/circorsmart-app.

Flexible control valve features fail-safe function and easy maintenance.

RTK®, a CIRCOR International brand, and an international leader in the design and manufacture of control valves and actuators, introduces the REflex Quick Change Seat Control Valve with REact 30 DC-PoP smart actuator, a flexible all-in-one solution for noise reduction and high pressure drop applications.

The REflex QCS Control Valve assembles and disassembles in four quick steps without the need for special tools, accelerating maintenance by up to 85% for efficiency and cost-savings. Plus, tool-free seat exchange allows for quick adaptation to changing conditions. Featuring optimized high-capacity flow paths and interchangeable trim, the two-way REflex QCS Control Valve supports a variety of media and meets NACE standards for use with abrasive liquids and gasses.

The REflex QCS Control Valve is high customizable for lower flow and higher pressure drop and available in one- or two-stages, as well as a range of sizes, pressure classes, and end connections types. All REflex valves are available either as ANSI or DIN, ensuring that direct replacement is always possible. Ideal for power, process, industrial, chemical, petrochemical, LNG, refrigeration technology, and oil and gas applications, these valves excel at control and shut-off of liquids and gases, feedwater boiler filling, superheater start-up, and as relief valves.

The REact 30 DC-PoP actuator equips the REflex QCS Control Valve with innovative smart valve technology to ensure system safety in any situation. When operating in normal conditions, the REact 30 DC-PoP’s intelligent high-efficiency brushless DC motor can be adjusted to four separate speeds for energy savings and precision. These systems are also easily interconnected for remote monitoring. Then, in case of power failure, the two system-saving functions—the standard Emergency Closing Unit and a Power off Positioning module—smoothly opens or closes to a predefines safety end position. Automatic return to closed loop control is possible without any external components or wiring, ensuring that the valve resumes normal duties as soon as the plant returns to normal operations.
