The UK company supplied the original pumps to ADNOC in 2016 for sodium hypochlorite dosing duties on the Umm Lulu offshore platform situated in the Arabian Gulf, 30km north-west of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Because sodium hypochlorite is very corrosive, Amarinth initially used titanium alloy for all wetted parts.
During a routine capital evaluation, ADNOC decided the pumps had been due for refurbishment. The sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps are important to production and refurbishment needed to align precisely with a particular shutdown schedule.
The shutdown schedule wouldn’t allow 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 capable of complete the strip and assessment report inside 5 working days and suggest two refurbishment tasks. The first concerned a full rebuild, take a look at and warranty of the first pump changing all the titanium parts including impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals. The work wanted to be accomplished in just eight weeks. เกจ์ออกซิเจนsumo prioritised the ordering of the titanium elements and was capable of have the parts manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule. The second challenge undertook the identical work on the opposite two backup pumps to be completed on a 24-week schedule.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, stated: “Having provided the unique pumps to ADNOC we now have a wealth of expertise in working with titanium components. We are additionally pleased with the growth of our local UAE facility for service and support and which enabled us to efficiently expediate this specific refurbishment, benefiting both ADNOC and the native economy.”
