Amarinth delivers pump solutions for FPSO redeployments where space is tight and timelines are critical
With the rapid growth in FPSO redeployments and conversion projects, operators are facing a distinct set of challenges. As the industry moves to extend the life of existing assets, Amarinth is perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between aging vessels and modern compliance standards.
The trend toward redeploying and converting Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels is accelerating. While this strategy offers significant cost and schedule advantages over new builds, it brings its own hurdles. Space is often at a premium, timeframes are aggressively tight, and bringing an older vessel up to the latest technical specifications is a complex engineering feat.
For decades, Amarinth has been the trusted partner for this demanding sector of the Oil & Gas industry. We don’t just supply pumps; we provide the expertise to solve the unique headaches associated with vessel retrofits.
Meeting the Redeployment Challenge
When a vessel is being repurposed for a new field, the equipment requirements rarely match the original footprint. Amarinth excels at these challenges, with key capabilities that keep your project on track:
Consultative Expertise: We understand that redeployment is not a "copy and paste" exercise. Our engineering team help you navigate the technical challenges of integrating new pumping systems into existing, often congested, infrastructure.
The Industry’s Shortest Lead-Times: In conversion projects, time is money. We are renowned for achieving the shortest lead times in the industry, ensuring that critical pump delivery aligns with your tight docking schedules to prevent costly delays.
Engineered for Restricted Footprints: Space onboard is finite. We specialise in modular, compact designs of pumps and skid packages that fit into tight spaces without compromising on performance or maintainability. All our equipment is fully technically compliant while minimising deck usage.
Handling the Harshest Environments: Redeployed vessels often face more aggressive process conditions than originally designed for. Our capabilities in exotic materials, including Titanium, Super Duplex, Hastelloy, and Monel, ensure our pumps withstand the harshest marine environments and aggressive fluids.
Solving Hydraulic Limitations: Retrofitting often means dealing with less-than-ideal conditions. The low NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) performance capabilities of our pumps allow them to operate reliably in the most restrictive of areas.
Complex Design Capabilities: We are specialists in complex integration, from pumps to skid packages, including through-bulkhead pump designs and equipment suitable for multi-ATEX zoning, ensuring safety and compliance are never compromised.
All Amarinth pumps are designed, assembled and tested at our UK facilities ensuring they meet stringent quality standards. However, we understand the importance of local content requirements in today’s global market and so we offer local content options to support projects wherever they are located.
With a strong presence in key FPSO territories, including South America, Asia Pacific, and the USA, we are on hand to support your redeployment project from the initial engineering consultation through to commissioning and beyond.
