The UK firm supplied the unique pumps to ADNOC in 2016 for sodium hypochlorite dosing duties on the Umm Lulu offshore platform positioned in the Arabian Gulf, 30km north-west of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Because sodium hypochlorite is highly corrosive, Amarinth originally used titanium alloy for all wetted elements.
During a routine capital evaluation, ADNOC decided the pumps have been due for refurbishment. The sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps are important to production and refurbishment had to align exactly with a particular shutdown schedule.
The shutdown schedule wouldn’t permit 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.
เกจ์อาร์กอนsumo ’s UAE facility was in a position to full the strip and assessment report within 5 working days and suggest two refurbishment initiatives. ตัววัดแรงดันน้ำ involved a full rebuild, take a look at and warranty of the first pump changing all of the titanium elements including impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals. The work wanted to be accomplished in simply eight weeks. Amarinth prioritised the ordering of the titanium parts and was in a position to have the elements manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule. The second venture undertook the identical work on the other two backup pumps to be accomplished on a 24-week schedule.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, stated: “Having equipped the unique pumps to ADNOC we have a wealth of experience in working with titanium parts. We are also pleased with the expansion of our native UAE facility for service and help and which enabled us to efficiently expediate this particular refurbishment, benefiting both ADNOC and the native economic system.”
