Skid mounted equipment refers to industrial process equipment that is mounted on a metal frame or platform known as a skid. This setup is designed for ease of transportation and installation.
Here are some key points about skid mounted equipment
• Modularity
Skid mounted equipment is modular in design,meaning it can be fully assembled off-site in a controlled environment and then transported to the job site when needed.
• Mobility
The equipment is mounted on a skid to facilitate easy relocation and transportation from the build site to the job site.
• Efficiency
Off-site building streamlines the construction and installation process,reducing on-site construction time and minimizing the risk of installation errors.
• Protection&Support
Skids protect the equipment during transportation and provide support once the equipment is installed at the job site.
• Types of Equipment
Skid mounted equipmentcan include a variety of process equipment such as pumps,piping,valves,tanks/vessels,filters,coolers,heat exchangers,and more.
• Applications
Skid mounted equipment is used in various industries including petrochemical,water treatment plants,steam power generation,saltwater disposal,food&beverage production,mining,pharmaceutical,industrial,mechanical,and chemical processes.
• Customization
Skid mounted systems can be customized to meet the specific needs of a project,including size,capacity,functionality,and integration with existing processes.
• Advantages
Using skid mounted equipment can result in reduced construction time due to parallel construction,where the unit can be assembled off-site while on-site upgrades are being conducted simultaneously.This avoids the need for time-consuming on-site logistics associated with on-site assembly and fabrication.
• Safety and Stability
Skid structures help maintain the safety and stability of heavy equipment,reducing the risks of accidents during transportation or installation.
• Cost Savings
Skid structures save on both time and labor costs by speeding up the installation process and reducing the need for custom builds at each new site.In summary,skid mounted equipment is a versatile and efficient solution for various industrial applications,offering benefits in terms of modularity,mobility,efficiency,and safety.
