The UK firm provided the unique pumps to ADNOC in 2016 for sodium hypochlorite dosing duties on the Umm Lulu offshore platform positioned in the Arabian Gulf, 30km north-west of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Because sodium hypochlorite is highly corrosive, Amarinth initially used titanium alloy for all wetted components.
During a routine capital evaluation, ADNOC decided the pumps have been due for refurbishment. The sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps are important to production and refurbishment had to align exactly with a selected shutdown schedule.
The shutdown schedule wouldn’t enable the pumps to be returned to the UK for a full strip, assessment and refurbishment, so Amarinth used its UAE facility to undertake the work.
Amarinth’s UAE facility was in a position to complete the strip and evaluation report within five working days and suggest two refurbishment initiatives. The first involved a full rebuild, check and warranty of the primary pump replacing all the titanium elements together with impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals. The work wanted to be completed in just eight weeks. Amarinth prioritised the ordering of the titanium components and was capable of have the parts manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule. The second venture undertook the identical work on the other two backup pumps to be accomplished on a 24-week schedule.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, mentioned: “Having provided the unique pumps to ADNOC we now have a wealth of expertise in working with titanium elements. ราคาpressuregauge are additionally pleased with the growth of our local UAE facility for service and help and which enabled us to efficiently expediate this particular refurbishment, benefiting both ADNOC and the native economy.”
