Working with Gas Arabian Services, Amarinth has delivered bespoke compact API 610 vertical in-line pumps for Saudi Basic Industries Corporation’s (SABIC) Yanbu petrochemical refinery in Saudi Arabia.

The Yanbu refinery processes 400 000 barrels-per-day (bpd) of crude oil from the Manifa offshore field producing high-quality, ultra-low sulphur-refined products.
Two horizontal pumps were originally specified for the hazardous area, but these would not fit within the restricted space so Amarinth proposed using API 610 vertical in-line pumps.
With the pumps required on a tight 30-week delivery schedule, Amarinth leveraged its existing range of API 610 vertical in-line pumps and created a bespoke design with a footprint of just 420mm x 420mm.
