The UK firm provided the original pumps to ADNOC in 2016 for sodium hypochlorite dosing duties on the Umm Lulu offshore platform situated within the Arabian Gulf, 30km north-west of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Because sodium hypochlorite is highly corrosive, Amarinth originally used titanium alloy for all wetted components.
During เกจวัดแรงดัน10bar , ADNOC determined the pumps were due for refurbishment. The sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps are critical to production and refurbishment needed to align exactly with a specific shutdown schedule.
The shutdown schedule wouldn’t allow the pumps to be returned to the UK for a full strip, evaluation and refurbishment, so Amarinth used its UAE facility to undertake the work.
Amarinth’s UAE facility was in a place to full the strip and assessment report within 5 working days and suggest two refurbishment tasks. The first involved a full rebuild, take a look at and warranty of the first pump changing all of the titanium parts including impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals. The work wanted to be completed in just eight weeks. Amarinth prioritised the ordering of the titanium components and was able to have the parts manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule. The second venture undertook the same work on the other two backup pumps to be completed on a 24-week schedule.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, stated: “Having supplied the unique pumps to ADNOC we have a wealth of expertise in working with titanium elements. We are also happy with the growth of our local UAE facility for service and support and which enabled us to efficiently expediate this specific refurbishment, benefiting each ADNOC and the local economic system.”
