Amarinth has provided low-shear pumps to Arabian Industries for a nutshell filtration system at Sonatrach’s Tinrhert Field Development Project in Algeria.

The water produced by the drilling operations is contaminated with oil and must go through a separation package to remove the oil.

Arabian Industries approached Amarinth to provide the close coupled ATEX compliant horizontal pumps with Plan 13 seal support systems after working successfully with the UK pump company on a number of other projects.

The duplex stainless steel pumps and their Plan 13 seal support systems for the Sonatrach project were delivered on an aggressive 26-week schedule that included the Christmas period.

The Tinrhert Fields, which are being developed by Sonatrach, comprise 17 wet gas fields located around 1500 km southeast of Algiers.
