Amarinth has delivered four ISO 5199 vertical in-line centrifugal pumps to the Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal, a primary fuel terminal in Hemel Hempstead, UK.
The Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal is located on the edge of Hemel Hempstead to the north of London, and operates bulk storage and supply of fuel.
Amarinth was approached, as an approved supplier, for two ISO 5199 vertical in-line centrifugal pumps for loading duties at the depot. The pumps were specified to operate safely in an explosive atmosphere, certified for ATEX Zone 1. The order also called for the pumps to be designed so that variable speed drives could be added later as their operational use was planned to change.
Eight weeks after the initial order however, Amarinth were again approached by the client for a further two of the same vertical in-line centrifugal pumps but on the same delivery schedule as the original order.
Amarinth was able to replan the project to meet the original deadline for all four of the pumps. Leveraging its close relationship with the foundry in the UK, the castings for the four pumps were completed together, rather than in pairs, ensuring assembly and testing could be completed on schedule, achieving the original delivery dates requested.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, said: “We have supplied centrifugal pumps for this super-major client for numerous projects over many years, often on short lead times, and are pleased that we could once again fulfil this latest order on-time, despite the additional pumps required.”
