Amarinth has delivered two vertical in-line pumps to energy company EDF to replace obsolete pumps at the UK’s Sizewell B nuclear power station in Suffolk.
Amarinth vertical in-line pumps ready for shipment to EDF Sizewell B nuclear power station.
The Sizewell B nuclear power station is the only pressurised water reactor in the UK.
The power station requires filtered sea water during operation and the new Amarinth vertical in-line super duplex pumps delivered to EDF are to replace existing but now obsolete filtration screen spray pumps for the drum screen wash process. The safe area rated pumps underwent a full suite of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and carry 3.1 material certification for traceability. The pumps were also delivered to a tight 30-week deadline to coincide with a planned maintenance schedule minimising disruption at the power station.
