The UK firm provided the original pumps to ADNOC in 2016 for sodium hypochlorite dosing duties on the Umm Lulu offshore platform positioned within the Arabian Gulf, 30km north-west of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Because sodium hypochlorite is highly corrosive, Amarinth initially used titanium alloy for all wetted elements.
During a routine capital evaluation, ADNOC decided the pumps had been due for refurbishment. The sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps are important to manufacturing and refurbishment needed to align precisely with a selected shutdown schedule.
The shutdown schedule would not enable the pumps to be returned to the UK for a full strip, assessment and refurbishment, so Amarinth used its UAE facility to undertake the work.
Amarinth’s UAE facility was in a position to complete the strip and assessment report within five working days and suggest two refurbishment projects. The first involved a full rebuild, take a look at and guarantee of the first pump replacing all of the titanium parts including impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals. The work wanted to be completed in simply eight weeks. Amarinth prioritised the ordering of the titanium elements and was capable of have the components manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule. The second project undertook the same work on the opposite two backup pumps to be completed on a 24-week schedule.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, mentioned: “Having supplied the unique pumps to ADNOC we’ve a wealth of experience in working with titanium elements. We are additionally happy with the expansion of our native UAE facility for service and help and which enabled us to efficiently expediate this explicit refurbishment, benefiting each ADNOC and the local economy.”
