<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Industrial Skid Systems \u2014 Custom Engineered & Fabricated for Process Industries<\/h1><\/div>Ergil designs, engineers, and fabricates custom\u00a0skid systems<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0modular skid systems<\/strong>\u00a0for oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, and process industries. As pre-fabricated, self-contained units, our skid-mounted systems deliver a compact, efficient, and cost-effective way to install and integrate complex process equipment \u2014 built, tested, and certified in-house before they ever reach your site.<\/p>\nWhat Is a Skid System?<\/h2>\n
A skid system \u2014 also called a skid-mounted system, process skid, or skid package \u2014 is a modular unit that integrates the components of a process system onto a single structural steel frame, or \"skid.\" A typical skid system includes pumps, valves, instrumentation, piping, and control systems, all pre-assembled and tested as one transportable package.<\/p>\n
The concept of skid systems originated in the oil and gas industry but has since expanded into many other sectors, including:<\/p>\n
\n- Oil and gas production and processing<\/li>\n
- Chemical and petrochemical processing<\/li>\n
- Water and wastewater treatment<\/li>\n
- Food and beverage production<\/li>\n
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing<\/li>\n
- Power generation<\/li>\n
- Biofuel production<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Modular Skid Systems<\/h2>\n
Modular skid systems are engineered so that individual skid packages can be combined, expanded, or reconfigured as process requirements change. Because each module is designed, fabricated, and factory-tested independently, modular skid systems shorten project timelines, simplify transport and installation, and make future capacity expansion straightforward. Ergil's\u00a0modular process skid equipment<\/a>\u00a0is built on this plug-and-play philosophy, allowing operators to scale capacity by adding interconnected skid modules instead of rebuilding entire systems.<\/p>\nSkid Systems for Oil and Gas<\/h2>\n
Skid systems for oil and gas are the most demanding application of skid-mounted technology, requiring compliance with strict industry standards and the ability to handle high pressures, sour service, and hazardous environments. Ergil supplies a full range of skid packages for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, including:<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions About Skid Systems<\/h2>\nWhat is a skid system in oil and gas?<\/h3>\n
In oil and gas, a skid system is a modular process package \u2014 such as a metering skid, glycol dehydration unit, or fuel gas conditioning skid \u2014 pre-assembled on a steel frame, factory-tested, and delivered ready for connection at the wellsite, plant, or terminal.<\/p>\n
What is the difference between a skid system and a modular skid system?<\/h3>\n
All skid systems are mounted on a frame for transport and installation. A modular skid system goes further: it is designed as one of several interconnecting modules, so capacity can be expanded or reconfigured by adding modules rather than redesigning the whole system.<\/p>\n
How long does it take to manufacture a custom skid system?<\/h3>\n
Lead time depends on complexity, materials, and certification requirements. Because Ergil engineers, fabricates, and tests skids in-house, schedules are typically shorter than multi-vendor approaches. Contact our team for a project-specific lead time.<\/p>\n
What standards do Ergil skid systems comply with?<\/h3>\n
Ergil skid systems are designed and certified to international standards including ASME and CE marking, with documentation, material certificates, and test reports provided for every package.<\/p>\n
