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

ไดอะแฟรม of the six API 610 VS4 pumps are pour point depressant pumps that are 18m in length and the other four are methanol carry pumps which would possibly be 10m lengthy.
All of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors that have been designed and built alongside the length of the pumps to watch the temperature of every bearing individually.
The 18m lengthy pumps incorporate a supporting system of brackets that Amarinth has designed which attaches every pump to its tank throughout set up making certain that because the pump is lowered into the tank it stays perfectly aligned, lowering vibration and wear throughout 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 delivery and set up had to align with the FPSO construct schedule. Because of the size of the pumps, they had to be installed into the vessel’s tanks via the deck before another deck above the pumps might be constructed. The first phase was completed efficiently over the Christmas interval with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning staff supporting the client with the set up and commissioning.
The FPSO will be positioned within the KG-DWN 98/2 area, roughly 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. The vessel is designed to produce as much as 90 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. It will be equipped to handle the monsoon situations prevalent on the subject.
