CIRCOR Highlights Houttuin Twin-Screw Pumps and Energy Recovery Control Valve at StocExpo 2023
CIRCOR International had an exciting opportunity to showcase their Houttuin twin-screw pumps at StocExpo 2023, held from 14th-16th March 2023 at Rotterdam Ahoy in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The pumps were specifically designed for tank storage applications, including pipeline transfer, loading and unloading, tank to tank transfer, circulation, and blending.
| Visitors to Stand E23 were able to learn more about the pumps and our innovative energy recovery control valve (ERCV) technology from Houttuin. The ERCV is a game-changer in our sustainability efforts, enabling them to reduce CO2 emissions and energy usage. The technology combines a screw-pump designed as a twin-screw motor and modern variable-speed drive technology. Energy recovery is available from <0.1 kilowatt (kW) up to 1000 kW per unit. A medium-sized 100kW ERCV would recover about 875,000 kWh per year in continuous operation, valued at about 75,000 €. At the same time, the ERCV reduces total CO2 emissions by 367 tons annually. |

Axel Jäschke, Director Strategic Business Development, said, "As a company with a long-standing reputation for fluid handling equipment in terminal applications through our Houttuin Brand, we are thrilled to introduce our new product at StocExpo. This marks an exciting step forward in our commitment to a more environmentally friendly future."

CIRCOR HOUTTUIN received the Golden Global Tank Storage Award in the Environmental Performance category for the ERCV. The ERCV enabled CIRCOR International, Inc. to achieve significant reductions in CO2 emissions and energy consumption, contributing to greater sustainability. The award thus confirms the important role that CIRCOR International, Inc. plays in developing sustainable solutions in the tank storage industry. |
One of the pumps on display at the booth was the Houttuin Twin-Screw 236 Series, a self-priming horizontal double entry twin-screw pump that featured two intermeshing screws rotating in a pump casing insert. This model was designed to ensure high pumping efficiency with constant flow and unequaled suction power, making it ideal for pumping contaminated or lubricating and non-lubricating liquids of low or high viscosity. The pump was an excellent choice for the chemical and petrochemical, soap and grease, paint and lacquer, food and beverage, plastics, sugar, and shipbuilding industries, as well as environmental technologies and tank farms.
Another pump showcased was the Houttuin Twin-Screw 211.40 Series, a vertical, self-priming, double entry twin-screw pump that could also handle almost any fluid. However, the vertical design required a smaller footprint in confined spaces and was the perfect choice for the Houttuin ERCV solution.
Overall, we had an exciting opportunity to showcase their innovative Houttuin twin-screw pumps and energy recovery control valve (ERCV) technology at StocExpo 2023. By introducing these products, we have taken a significant step forward in our commitment to creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
