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

Two of the six API 610 VS4 pumps are pour point depressant pumps that are 18m in size and the opposite four are methanol raise pumps that are 10m long.
All of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors that have been designed and constructed alongside the length of the pumps to monitor the temperature of each bearing individually.
The 18m long pumps incorporate a supporting system of brackets that Amarinth has designed which attaches each pump to its tank throughout installation ensuring that because the pump is lowered into the tank it stays perfectly aligned, decreasing vibration and put on throughout operation.
Once assembled, the pumps had been independently witness tested and licensed by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. The pumps had been then disassembled into 3m segments and shipped to Singapore the place the FPSO (floating manufacturing storage and offloading unit) is being constructed.
The pump delivery and installation needed to align with the FPSO build schedule. Because of the length of the pumps, they needed to be installed into the vessel’s tanks via the deck before another deck above the pumps could possibly be built. The first part was accomplished efficiently over the Christmas period with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning staff supporting the client with the set up and commissioning.
The FPSO might be positioned in the KG-DWN 98/2 field, approximately 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. ตัววัดแรงดันน้ำมัน is designed to provide as much as ninety 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. It shall be outfitted to deal with the monsoon situations prevalent on the subject.
