Amarinth has appointed Nama Development = Enterprises as=20 one of its growing number of agents in the Middle East, and this led to = a large=20 order for sump pumps built from exotic alloys
Based in Abu Dhabi, Nama is one of the leading local business groups = serving=20 the Oil and Gas, Power and Water and Industrial sectors of the United = Arab=20 Emirates economy.
Nama will become a cornerstone in the rapid expansion of Amarinth = into the=20 region's oil and gas industry.
This new relationship has already yielded a high profile USD3.5M = order for=20 Amarinth, their largest to date.
Amarinth will supply vertical sump pumps to be used in the harsh and = very=20 demanding application of pumping carcinogenic chemicals.
Manufactured from special high alloy to a bespoke design, these API = pumps are=20 being made to a very tight deadline of just 40 weeks from order.
The pump design had to meet very strict criteria and a specific = performance=20 curve laid down by the customer.
The vessels in which the pumps will operate are coated with exotic = materials=20 and so for cost reasons the pump had to be designed to fit into the = smallest=20 space possible.
Also additional termination points on the support plate were required = to=20 cater for other services in and out of the tank.
To withstand the harsh environment the pumps had to be manufactured = from=20 special hard exotic alloys.
These are rare, difficult to procure and challenging to machine.
Being critical to the start-up of the plant, the pumps have to be = delivered=20 and tested in less than 40 weeks otherwise the operator would incur = significant=20 losses, for any days that commissioning was delayed.
A standard pump was not an option and although a number of = manufacturers=20 looked at the requirements none could meet the technical requirements or = the=20 lead times demanded by the customer.
Only Amarinth were able to satisfy both the design criteria and the = lead=20 time.
This was achieved by delivering a bespoke version of one of proven V = series=20 sump pump designs.
Nama will be supporting these products in the region, overseeing the=20 commissioning and installation as well as providing first level = technical=20 support.
Oliver Brigginshaw, Managing Director of Amarinth, added: "We are = delighted=20 to announce our agreement with Nama and this USD3.5M order, our largest = to=20 date.
Work has progressed smoothly despite a number of mid contract changes = and we=20 are now in discussion and bidding for additional pumps for the same = site.
This will become a significant reference site in the region allowing = future=20 customers to understand our products and capabilities, particularly for = these=20 type of arduous conditions, as well as the support Amarinth and Nama can = deliver".
