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).

Two of the six API 610 VS4 pumps are pour point depressant pumps which might be 18m in length and the opposite 4 are methanol carry pumps that are 10m lengthy.
All of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors which have been designed and built along 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 each pump to its tank throughout installation ensuring that as the pump is lowered into the tank it remains completely aligned, reducing vibration and put on throughout operation.
Once assembled, the pumps have been independently witness examined and certified by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. The pumps have been then disassembled into 3m segments and shipped to Singapore where the FPSO (floating manufacturing storage and offloading unit) is being built.
The pump supply and installation had to align with the FPSO build schedule. Because of the size of the pumps, they needed to be installed into the vessel’s tanks through the deck before one other deck above the pumps might be constructed. The first part was accomplished efficiently over the Christmas period with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning staff supporting the client with the installation and commissioning.
The FPSO shall be positioned in the KG-DWN 98/2 field, roughly 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. ชนิดของpressuregauge is designed to produce up to ninety 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. It will be equipped to deal with the monsoon situations prevalent at the subject.
