CIRCOR Energy, a CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE: CIR) company,
announced that Pibiviesse, a CIRCOR business located in Milan,
Italy, completed the production of two Control Ball Valves that are
believed to be the largest ever in the world. The 64" X 48"
hydraulic actuated Control Cage Ball Valves have a flow capacity of
125,500 Cv. The valves will play an integral role in controlling
the flow of water in a 450 KM (280 mile) pipeline from the Ras
Azawr Desalination plant to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.

“These record-breaking valves are a testament to Pibiviesse's
ability to innovate and solve difficult control valve applications
wherever increasing capacity and pressures are required,” said
Mahesh Joshi, President, CIRCOR Energy Products Group. “We are
proud of the team in Italy and thank them for their dedication to
growing the business by expanding our capabilities.”
The valves were selected due to their ability to control a broad
range of flow requirements with stable control against turbulence
and cavitations risk. In addition to these two valves, a variety of
other Ball Control Valves sizes from 6" to 40" also were delivered
to manage water flow in the Riyadh distribution system.
