What is SKID and when should you use it?
This is a prefabricated technological installation that integrates all necessary infrastructure components —such as tanks, pipelines, fittings, automation, and control systems—on one or two steel frames. This design allows for rapid transport, easy assembly, and seamless integration with existing industrial installations.
Modular gas SKID – how does it work?
A modular gas SKID is a system designed for the transport, storage, and dispensing of gases such as LNG (liquefied natural gas) and CNG (compressed natural gas). It consists of components such as a cryogenic tank, atmospheric vaporizers, a pressure reduction system, and safety systems. Thanks to its modular design , the system is compact, easy to transport, and quick to install . An example is the modular SKID system used for LNG regasification.
SKID in LNG installations
SKID in LNG installations is a system used in the transport, storage, and regasification of liquefied natural gas . Constructed as a prefabricated unit, the SKID in this application integrates all key components of the installation, such as LNG storage tanks, vaporizers, valves, pumps, and control systems.
Thanks to its compact design, SKID enables fast and efficient gas delivery in locations without access to traditional gas networks . These systems are frequently used in industry, particularly where a flexible approach to gas supply is required, such as in industrial plants that use LNG as a fuel for energy production. The design of an LNG station allows for easy transport and installation, making it an ideal solution for use in a variety of locations.
SKID Applications in Industrial Plants
SKIDs are widely used in industrial plants wherever precise dosing of media such as gas, water, steam, or chemicals is required . Thanks to their modular design, SKIDs allow for easy adaptation to specific production needs. An example is the modular SKID system used in the chemical industry.
When is it worth using SKID in an LNG installation?
The use of SKID in an LNG installation is particularly advantageous in the following cases:
- Lack of access to the gas network : SKID enables the supply of gas where there is no gas infrastructure.
- Need for mobility : Mobile SKID gas stations allow for easy transport and installation in various locations.
- Quick investment implementation : SKID prefabricated reduction station allows for shortening the installation construction time.
- Cost optimization : SKID container gas stations allow for the reduction of investment and operating costs.
Benefits of using SKID in industry
The use of SKID in industry brings numerous benefits:
- Compactness : Modular design saves space in the plant.
- Flexibility : SKIDs can be easily adapted to changing production needs.
- Safety : Integrated safety systems ensure safe operation.
- Cost-effectiveness : Prefabrication and quick assembly translate into lower investment costs.
