Amarinth has refurbished sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps for ADNOC on schedule using its facility within the United Arab Emirates to fulfill strict shutdown deadlines.

The UK company provided the original pumps to ADNOC in 2016 for sodium hypochlorite dosing duties on the Umm Lulu offshore platform located within the Arabian Gulf, 30km north-west of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Because sodium hypochlorite is highly corrosive, Amarinth originally used titanium alloy for all wetted parts.
During ที่วัดแรงดันน้ำ , ADNOC determined the pumps have been due for refurbishment. The sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps are important to manufacturing and refurbishment needed to align precisely with a selected shutdown schedule.
The shutdown schedule would not enable the pumps to be returned to the UK for a full strip, assessment and refurbishment, so Amarinth used its UAE facility to undertake the work.
Amarinth’s UAE facility was able to complete the strip and evaluation report within 5 working days and suggest two refurbishment initiatives. The first involved a full rebuild, test and guarantee of the primary pump changing all of the titanium components together with impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals. The work needed to be accomplished in just eight weeks. Amarinth prioritised the ordering of the titanium parts and was capable of have the parts manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule. The second venture undertook the same work on the opposite two backup pumps to be accomplished on a 24-week schedule.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, stated: “Having equipped the unique pumps to ADNOC we have a wealth of experience in working with titanium components. We are additionally happy with the expansion of our native UAE facility for service and help and which enabled us to efficiently expediate this specific refurbishment, benefiting both ADNOC and the native economy.”
