The new pilot plant, for a planned larger installation, was commissioned by ZADCO on Zirku Island, which is located 140 kms north-west of Abu Dhabi.
ZADCO required a produced water treatment system on a very short lead time to meet the plant’s operating deadline. The pumps for the filtration system required a low shear design so that the oil and water were not emulsified. Because the produced water was high in H2S, the Amarinth pumps had to be manufactured in a high nickel alloy to resist corrosion.
