Amarinth has accomplished a US$1.5 million order from Armada Madura for six API 610 VS4 vertical pumps for a brand 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 that are 18m in size and the opposite four are methanol raise pumps which 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 every pump to its tank during set up ensuring that as the pump is lowered into the tank it remains perfectly aligned, decreasing vibration and wear during operation.
Once assembled, the pumps were independently witness examined and licensed by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. The pumps have 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 supply and installation had to align with the FPSO build schedule. Because of the length of the pumps, they needed to be put in into the vessel’s tanks via the deck earlier than another deck above the pumps could be constructed. The first part was accomplished successfully over the Christmas interval with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning group supporting the client with the installation and commissioning.
The FPSO might be positioned within the KG-DWN 98/2 area, roughly 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. The vessel is designed to supply up to 90 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. เกจวัดอาร์กอน will be outfitted to deal with the monsoon situations prevalent at the subject.
