Filtration and Conditioning Skid
A Filtration and Conditioning Skid is a critical piece of equipment used in various industrial processes to ensure that fluids (such as oil, gas, or chemicals) are cleaned and conditioned before they are used in further processes or transferred to other systems. This type of skid is designed to remove contaminants, regulate pressure and temperature, and prepare fluids to meet specific quality standards. Here's an overview of what a Filtration and Conditioning Skid typically includes and its key functions.
A filtration or conditioning skid is a unit that removes contaminants from liquids and gases, and can be used in a variety of industries:
Filtration
Skids use cartridge filtration technology to remove solid particles and other contaminants from oil and gas pipelines.
Gas conditioning
Skids remove solid and liquid contaminants from natural gas. They can include components like gas scrubbers, filters, superheaters, separators, valves, and instrumentation panels.
Modular skid
Skids can be mounted on Structural frame for easy transport and placed near production lines. They can also include pumps and control boxes.
Operation
- 1. Filtration: The fluid enters the skid and passes through the filtration units, where contaminants and particles are removed. The choice of filter type depends on the required level of cleanliness and the size of the particles to be removed.
- 2. Conditioning: After filtration, the fluid is conditioned to meet specific process requirements:
- Temperature Adjustment: The fluid’s temperature is regulated using heat exchangers or other temperature control devices.
- Pressure Regulation: The fluid’s pressure is controlled to ensure it is within the desired range.
- 3. Flow Control: Pumps and valves regulate the flow of the fluid through the skid and to the next stage of processing or distribution.
- 4. Monitoring and Control: The control panel monitors the performance of the skid, adjusts operational parameters based on sensor data, and ensures that the filtration and conditioning processes are functioning correctly.
