Amarinth delivers high alloy API 610 OH2 A Series pumps for prestigious processing project in the UAE

Bespoke versions of designs

A standard pump was not an option and although a number of manufacturers looked at the requirements none could meet both the technical requirements and the lead time demanded by the specifications provided by the client. Nama were quick to realise that the requirements ideally suited the capabilities of Amarinth.

The resulting solution complied fully with both the specifications and the lead time by creating a bespoke version of its proven API 610 OH2 horizontal pump in Alloy 825. The addition of API 682 Plan 53 accumulator systems and high temperature aluminium paint finish completed the solution. Following a comprehensive review of Amarinth by the client, it was awarded this prestigious contract.

Process requirements

Exotic alloy is notoriously hard to procure and difficult to cast. Despite all of this, Amarinth were able to supply fully specification compliant OH2 pumps well within deadline to fit with the clients project programme. An added complication also arose after order placement when a client process change meant that a particular pump duty was considerably altered. Amarinth's flexibility enabled it to accommodate this change within its supply with minimal cost impact and overall delivery implication, once again securing the project programme. All the units were subject to NDE and NDT including radiography, dye-penetrant of castings and welds, PMI and type 3.1 and 3.2 material certification of critical components. After assembly, extended API 610 tests were conducted in-house, witnessed by the client’s inspection agency. The high level of NDT meant that a large amount of documentation was required for the pump dossiers. Amarinth more than lived up to the client’s expectations by ensuring that the management of the contract and of the documentation deliverables were both at the same on-schedule pace at all times.

Local support

Amarinth, in conjunction with Nama (who will be undertake first level support), will be providing additional post order services to the client including pump commissioning and site assistance - an order for spare parts has already been received.
