Member news New orders for Amarinth in Asia Pacific
Amarinth has recently secured two new orders from Yinson Offshore Production and the Fatima Fertilizer Company, further extending the company’s presence in the Asia Pacific region. © Amarinth Ltd
Amarinth already supplies spare parts to support several existing Girdlestone pumps at Fatima Fertilizer and so when a new pump was required for the expansion, Fatima Fertilizer was keen to build on the existing relationship. The plant processes rock phosphate to produce nitro phosphate fertiliser and so the vertical pump will be designed to handle liquid phosphoric acid that also contains particulates.
Blue Water has seen positive developments in energy and projects over the last few years. This includes the successful execution of the TCO FGP project with a value in excess of US$1.3bn as well as winning the HLPFI award as project logistic provider of the year (2019).
The orders for Yinson and Fatima were both secured through Amarinth’s Malaysian office. Established a few years ago in Kuala Lumpur, the office has contributed to strong growth in orders for Amarinth from the Asia Pacific region.

The first order, from Yinson Production, Malaysia, follows a successful delivery of pumps to Yinson by Amarinth. This new order of four stainless steel horizontal pumps will be installed on a condensate unit in a hazardous zone aboard a floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The FPSO will be moored off the coast of Nigeria processing produced oil as part of the Anyala and Madu field development project. The Anyala and Madu fields are estimated to contain combined reserves of 193m barrels of oil and 0.637tn cubic feet of gas. To meet the project schedules, Amarinth will design and manufacture the pumps on an aggressive 18-week delivery deadline. The second order, from the Fatima Fertilizer Company, Pakistan, is for a 4m vertical sump pump in duplex stainless steel to be deployed in the expansion of its existing nitro phosphate plant in Mukhtargarh, Sadiqabadt, Pakistan.

A new standard for site investigation, engineering, planning and execution of pipeline installation through horizontal directional drilling (HDD), has been published by DNV GL, the technical advisor to the oil and gas industry.
We are confident that this standard will bring long-term benefit to HDD operations, reducing risk and improving quality. Frank Ketelaars, Regional Manager, Americas, DNV GL – Oil & Gas
The new standard, DNVGL-ST-F121, was created through a joint industry project (JIP) and provides a series of requirements and best practice for site investigation, engineering and planning to execution of pipeline installation to reduce the risk associated with HDD crossings. HDD is a construction method which provides significant improvements over traditional open cut methods for installing pipelines beneath obstructions such as rivers, highways and railroads.
