Amarinth has accomplished a US$1.5 million order from Armada Madura for six API 610 VS4 vertical pumps for a new FPSO being built for India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC).

Two of the six API 610 VS4 pumps are pour point depressant pumps which are 18m in size and the other four are methanol raise pumps which may be 10m lengthy.
pressure gauge ออก หลัง of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors that have been designed and constructed alongside the size of the pumps to monitor the temperature of every bearing individually.
The 18m long pumps incorporate a supporting system of brackets that Amarinth has designed which attaches every pump to its tank during set up guaranteeing that as the pump is lowered into the tank it remains completely aligned, lowering vibration and wear throughout operation.
Once assembled, the pumps had been independently witness examined and authorized by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. The pumps were then disassembled into 3m segments and shipped to Singapore where the FPSO (floating manufacturing storage and offloading unit) is being constructed.
The pump delivery and set up needed to align with the FPSO construct schedule. Because of the length of the pumps, they had to be put in into the vessel’s tanks through the deck earlier than one other deck above the pumps could be constructed. The first part was completed efficiently over the Christmas interval with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning staff supporting the customer with the installation and commissioning.
The FPSO shall be positioned in the KG-DWN 98/2 subject, approximately 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. The vessel is designed to supply as much as 90 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. It shall be equipped to handle the monsoon situations prevalent on the subject.
