The UK company provided the original pumps to ADNOC in 2016 for sodium hypochlorite dosing duties on the Umm Lulu offshore platform positioned in the Arabian Gulf, 30km north-west of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Because sodium hypochlorite is very corrosive, Amarinth originally used titanium alloy for all wetted parts.
During a routine capital assessment, ADNOC decided the pumps were 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 permit the pumps to be returned to the UK for a full strip, evaluation and refurbishment, so Amarinth used its UAE facility to undertake the work.

The first concerned a full rebuild, check and guarantee of the first pump replacing all the titanium components together with impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals.

Amarinth prioritised the ordering of the titanium parts and was able to have the components manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule.
