Amarinth has completed 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 which may be 18m in length and the other 4 are methanol carry pumps that are 10m lengthy.
All of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors which were designed and built along the size of the pumps to monitor the temperature of each bearing individually.
The 18m lengthy pumps incorporate a supporting system of brackets that Amarinth has designed which attaches each pump to its tank throughout installation ensuring that because the pump is lowered into the tank it remains perfectly aligned, reducing vibration and put on during operation.
Once assembled, the pumps had been independently witness examined and certified by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. The pumps were then disassembled into 3m segments and shipped to Singapore where the FPSO (floating production storage and offloading unit) is being built.
The pump delivery and set up needed 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 before another deck above the pumps might be constructed. The first section was accomplished successfully over the Christmas period with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning staff supporting the customer with the installation and commissioning.
The FPSO will be positioned in the KG-DWN 98/2 subject, roughly 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. The vessel is designed to provide as a lot as 90 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. เกจวัดแรงดันน้ำมันเครื่อง might be outfitted to handle the monsoon circumstances prevalent on the field.
