• It will increase the quality of the product.
• It allow fast execution against regular upgradation requirement of Plant.
• It will reduce safety concerns and improved security.
• Inspection and testing can be done from the manufacturer It is easy for maintenance and portable.

Where SKIDS are used?

•  They are used almost every industry like oil and gas, chemical processing, manufacturing units and more.
• They will be sent by the vendor as a loose component.
• They can be combined to form a plant.
• Commonly used in
  • Oil and Gas
  • Power Plants
  • Fire Fighting Systems
  • Water Treatment Plants
  • Mobile Refueling Units

How Skid is manufactured?

• It is manufacture as same as the process of plant design.
• Like a plant the skid will have the same types of drawings as plant like PID, Process Flow Diagrams, GA Drawings, Piping ISO drawings.
• These are done with the help of modeling and analysis tool like Solid works, Plant 3D, Inventor etc.
• Sometimes these are fixed in an open frame and sometimes it will be enclosed inside container of different sizes.
