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

Two of the six API 610 VS4 pumps are pour level depressant pumps that are 18m in size and the other four are methanol raise pumps that are 10m lengthy.
All of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors which have been designed and constructed along the length of the pumps to observe 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 during installation guaranteeing that as the pump is lowered into the tank it remains completely aligned, lowering vibration and put on throughout operation.
Once assembled, the pumps were independently witness examined and authorized by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. เพรสเชอร์เกจ have been then disassembled into 3m segments and shipped to Singapore where the FPSO (floating production storage and offloading unit) is being built.
The pump supply and installation had to align with the FPSO construct schedule. Because of the length of the pumps, they needed to be put in into the vessel’s tanks via the deck earlier than one other deck above the pumps could possibly be built. The first phase was accomplished efficiently over the Christmas period with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning team supporting the client with the installation and commissioning.
The FPSO shall be positioned in the KG-DWN 98/2 area, roughly 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. The vessel is designed to produce as a lot as 90 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. It might be outfitted to handle the monsoon circumstances prevalent at the area.
