Amarinth Delivers Chemical Injection Skids for Nigeria LNG Pipeline Operations
Amarinth has delivered chemical injection skid systems for Nigeria’s Soku and Gbaran LNG fields to help prevent corrosion and scale buildup in pipelines supplying feed gas to the NLNG export plant.
(P&GJ) — Pump manufacturer Amarinth has completed delivery of four chemical injection skid packages designed to support pipeline integrity at Nigeria’s Soku and Gbaran LNG fields in the Niger Delta.
The equipment will be used to perform precision chemical injection to help prevent corrosion and scale buildup in pipelines supplying feed gas to the Nigeria LNG (NLNG) export facility at Finima on Bonny Island.
The £1.5 million order includes four API 675 chemical injection skid packages delivered in two separate systems: a biocide and oxygen scavenger injection skid package, and a biocide and scale inhibitor injection skid package.
The skid-mounted systems include instrumentation such as actuated valves and remote monitoring transmitters that allow operators to control chemical injection rates from centralized control rooms.
Amarinth engineered the units to operate in the harsh conditions of the Niger Delta while minimizing installation requirements. The skids were fully assembled and factory tested prior to shipment to reduce field installation work and simplify commissioning.
For the Soku LNG field project, Amarinth also designed a custom structural frame allowing the skid packages to be installed over existing concrete plinths at the facility without additional civil work.
To address transportation challenges in the region, the equipment was engineered to fit within standard shipping containers, allowing the packages to be transported across Nigeria’s road network without special permits.
The project was delivered in collaboration with Elkarino Nigeria Ltd., which supported local execution and logistics.
Managing Director Oliver Brigginshaw said the project reflects the company’s growing work supporting energy infrastructure projects in Africa.
“The delivery of these skids within a demanding 39-week timeframe is a testament to our engineering agility and our commitment to the African energy sector. Nigeria ranks tenth in global petroleum reserves, and this latest project further underlines our lead in providing sustainable, high-performance solutions for critical energy infrastructure around the globe.”
The Soku and Gbaran fields supply natural gas to the Nigeria LNG export plant, one of the largest LNG facilities in the world.
