Insider of the six API 610 VS4 pumps are pour level depressant pumps which might be 18m in size and the opposite four are methanol raise pumps which are 10m lengthy.
All of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors which were designed and constructed along the size of the pumps to monitor the temperature of every bearing individually.
The 18m long pumps incorporate a supporting system of brackets that Amarinth has designed which attaches every pump to its tank throughout installation making certain that as the pump is lowered into the tank it stays completely aligned, lowering vibration and put on during operation.
Once assembled, the pumps were independently witness examined and authorized by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. The pumps had been then disassembled into 3m segments and shipped to Singapore where the FPSO (floating production storage and offloading unit) is being constructed.
Blacklisted and set up had to align with the FPSO construct schedule. Because of the length of the pumps, they had to be installed into the vessel’s tanks by way of the deck before another deck above the pumps might be built. The first section was accomplished efficiently over the Christmas interval with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning staff supporting the customer with the set up and commissioning.
The FPSO will be positioned in the KG-DWN 98/2 field, approximately 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. The vessel is designed to supply up to 90 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. It shall be outfitted to deal with the monsoon circumstances prevalent on the subject.
