Galfar buys 10 API 610 vertical sump pumps

Amarinth has secured a USD1m order from Galfar Engineering and Construction of Abu Dhabi for 10 super duplex API 610 VS4 vertical sump pumps.

Amarinth will be supplying the pumps on a lead time of just 30 - 35 weeks.

The pumps are a key component in the project known as 'Closed Drains System Modifications' at the Bab Plant, which is owned and operated by the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) and for which Galfar has won the EPC contract.

The project will improve the operability and safety of the existing facilities, which encompasses the provision of a closed drain system at RDS 1/2/3/4/5, comprising of a drain vessel in a concrete pit with duty stand-by pumps and piping.

The existing drains-system utilises the drain headers with burn pits to burn the drained oil whenever the flow lines are depressurised.

The gas outlet from the RDS test separators is routed to a cold vent stack via a knock-out drum.

The project will minimise the use of burn pits and prevent the unnecessary loss of crude oil during draining activities.
