Amarinth secures $1M order of API 610 pumps for Coral North LNG Project in Mozambique
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 22nd October 2024
Amarinth, a world-leading, net-zero designer and manufacturer of low lifecycle cost centrifugal pumps and associated equipment, primarily for the offshore and onshore oil & gas industries; nuclear and renewable energy generation; defence; desalination; process and industrial markets, has secured a $1M order for API 610 OH2 pumps with Plan 53B seal support systems for the Coral North Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Project in Mozambique. This latest contract underscores Amarinth’s continued success in providing advanced, reliable pumping solutions for the burgeoning Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) market.
The Coral North project builds on the significant gas reserves discovered in Mozambique’s Rovuma Basin, located over two kilometres beneath the ocean’s surface. The project is an extension of the Coral South Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) platform, which began liquefying natural gas in October 2022. Coral North will feature a second FLNG plant, anchored 10 kilometres from Coral South, and is expected to commence production in 2027. The addition of Coral North is set to double LNG production from the Coral field, marking a major milestone in Mozambique’s economic development and its emergence as a key player in global LNG supply.
The pumps Amarinth will supply for the Coral North FLNG terminal are API 610 OH2 pumps with Plan 53B seal support systems, engineered to the latest 12th Edition standards, with additional motors and mechanical seals. To meet the rigorous safety and operational standards of the Coral North project, all electrical components will comply with IECEx certification for hazardous areas. Furthermore, strict quality requirements include radiography testing of critical components to guarantee long-term operational integrity in the harsh conditions of offshore LNG production.
This order adds to Amarinth’s growing worldwide portfolio of successful LNG projects, including Coral South (off Mozambique), Tortue (off Mauritania and Senegal), and Scarborough (off Western Australia), along with several other major installations. The company’s ability to consistently meet the exacting demands of such large-scale energy projects has secured its reputation as a trusted partner to the industry.
Oliver Brigginshaw, Managing Director of Amarinth, commented: “We are thrilled to secure this significant order for the Coral North development, following our successful delivery for Coral South. The specific needs of this project once again demonstrate our capability to provide critical pumping solutions under tight deadlines and in challenging environments. With Coral North set to double LNG production from the Coral field, this project will play a pivotal role in Mozambique’s energy future. It also highlights Amarinth’s commitment to supporting Africa’s energy growth, where we continue to invest and expand our operations.”
Amarinth’s involvement in the Coral North project further underlines its role as a key supplier of high-performance pumps for demanding offshore applications. The company continues to lead in the delivery of cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the global oil, gas, and renewable energy sectors. Through its focus on innovative technology and a commitment to sustainability, Amarinth remains dedicated to helping organisations achieve both operational excellence and environmental responsibility.
