Natural gas straight from the well carries water vapor — and that water causes serious problems downstream, from corrosion to gas hydrates that can block pipelines. Removing it is one of the most important steps in gas processing, and the most widely used method [...]

In oil and gas, measurement is money. When custody of a product passes from one party to another — producer to pipeline, pipeline to refinery, terminal to buyer — the quantity transferred has to be measured accurately, because that number determines payment. The [...]

Skid systems are everywhere in oil and gas — and for good reason. From remote wellsites to offshore platforms, pipelines, and refineries, the industry relies on pre-fabricated, factory-tested skid packages to install complex process equipment quickly, safely, and to specification. This guide walks [...]

The frame is the part of a skid system that everyone sees and few people think about — until something goes wrong. A well-designed skid frame keeps equipment aligned, absorbs the loads of operation and transport, and lets the unit be lifted safely [...]

A well-designed process skid does more than hold equipment on a frame. Good skid design balances structural integrity, process performance, maintainability, transport, and compliance — all at once. Get the engineering right and you get a unit that ships cleanly, installs fast, and [...]

You already know the general differences between skid-mounted and stick-built construction. The harder question is which one is right for your specific project. The honest answer is: it depends — on system size, transport logistics, site location, schedule, and how much flexibility you need later. [...]

When you need to install a new process system, one of the first decisions is how it gets built: as a pre-fabricated modular skid system delivered ready to connect, or assembled component-by-component on site (often called "stick-built"). The choice affects your budget, schedule, quality, [...]

If you work in oil and gas, water treatment, or any process industry, you have almost certainly encountered the term "skid system." But what exactly is a skid system, and why have these pre-fabricated packages become the default way to deliver complex process equipment? [...]
