Amarinth has refurbished sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps for ADNOC on schedule using its facility within the United Arab Emirates to meet strict shutdown deadlines.

The UK firm supplied the unique 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 extremely corrosive, Amarinth originally used titanium alloy for all wetted elements.
During a routine capital assessment, ADNOC determined the pumps were due for refurbishment. The sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps are critical to manufacturing and refurbishment needed to align precisely with a selected 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 capable of full the strip and assessment report within 5 working days and suggest two refurbishment initiatives. เครื่องมือที่ใช้วัดความดัน involved a full rebuild, take a look at and guarantee of the first pump changing all of the titanium parts together with impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals. The work wanted to be accomplished in just eight weeks. Amarinth prioritised the ordering of the titanium parts and was in a position to have the parts manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule. The second project undertook the same work on the other two backup pumps to be accomplished 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 also pleased with the growth of our local UAE facility for service and help and which enabled us to successfully expediate this specific refurbishment, benefiting both ADNOC and the native economic system.”
