Two of the six API 610 VS4 pumps are pour point depressant pumps that are 18m in size and the other 4 are methanol raise pumps which are 10m long.
All of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors that have been designed and constructed along the length of the pumps to watch the temperature of each bearing individually.
เครื่องมือที่ใช้วัดความดันคือ incorporate a supporting system of brackets that Amarinth has designed which attaches every pump to its tank during installation ensuring that because the pump is lowered into the tank it stays completely aligned, decreasing vibration and wear during operation.
Once assembled, the pumps had been independently witness tested and authorized by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. The pumps had been then disassembled into 3m segments and shipped to Singapore where the FPSO (floating manufacturing storage and offloading unit) is being built.
The pump delivery and installation had to align with the FPSO build schedule. Because of the length of the pumps, they needed to be installed into the vessel’s tanks by way of the deck earlier than another deck above the pumps could be constructed. The first phase was completed efficiently over the Christmas period with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning staff supporting the shopper with the set up and commissioning.
The FPSO will be positioned within the KG-DWN 98/2 field, approximately 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. The vessel is designed to produce as a lot as 90 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. It shall be outfitted to handle the monsoon circumstances prevalent on the subject.
