Amarinth secures a further $5.5m of pump orders in Abu Dhabi 07 August 2012

Centrifugal pump specialist Amarinth has secured four orders totalling $5.5 million from the National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC) in Abu Dhabi.

The pumps are for both offshore and onshore usage on two major projects, and the orders were placed via Amarinth agent Nama Development Enterprises.

The first order will see Amarinth supplying API 610 A series and C Series pumps to the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO) for use on the offshore Zakum Central Super Complex (ZCSC) Demothballing Project to increase oil production capacity from Zakum Field.

The pumps, manufactured in a combination of super-duplex and stainless steel, have undergone several design changes, such as base plates, to fit the existing layout of the platform, and modifications to existing casing designs to accommodate higher maximum working pressures.

The remaining orders are for the same end user for two parts of its '1.8 Million Project', set to increase Abu Dhabi's onshore oil production capacity from 1.4 to 1.8 million barrels per day via four major oil fields.

For the Bab Thamama oilfield, Amarinth's scope is for 30 API 610 process pumps, including VS4 and OH2 types, all manufactured with Inconel shafting to withstand the extremely harsh H2S environment.

On the Qushawira part of the project, Amarinth is supplying vertical VS4 pumps on similarly demanding applications.
