Two of the six API 610 VS4 pumps are pour level depressant pumps which are 18m in size and the other four are methanol lift pumps which may be 10m long.
All of the pumps have PT100 temperature sensors which have been designed and constructed along the length of the pumps to monitor the temperature of each bearing individually.
The 18m lengthy pumps incorporate a supporting system of brackets that Amarinth has designed which attaches each pump to its tank throughout installation guaranteeing that because the pump is lowered into the tank it stays completely aligned, decreasing vibration and wear throughout operation.
Once assembled, เกจวัดแรงดัน10bar were independently witness tested and authorized by DNV at Amarinth’s facility in Rendlesham, UK. The pumps have been then disassembled into 3m segments and shipped to Singapore where the FPSO (floating manufacturing storage and offloading unit) is being built.
The pump delivery and set up needed to align with the FPSO construct schedule. Because of the length of the pumps, they had to be put in into the vessel’s tanks through the deck earlier than one other deck above the pumps might be built. The first phase was completed successfully over the Christmas interval with Amarinth’s Engineering Commissioning staff supporting the shopper with the set up and commissioning.
The FPSO will be positioned within the KG-DWN 98/2 subject, roughly 22 km off the east coast of Kakinada, India. The vessel is designed to provide as much as ninety 000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and have a 1.3-million-barrel storage facility. It might be outfitted to handle the monsoon situations prevalent at the area.
