Description
Booster Skid Package Applications
Aegis Projects booster skid systems can be engineered for a variety of water, process and industrial applications.
Water & Wastewater Filtration
Booster pump packages can be used to provide the required flow and pressure for water and wastewater filtration systems.
The package can be configured with pumps, valves, instrumentation and controls according to the filtration system requirements.
Water & Wastewater Clarification Systems
Booster skids can support water and wastewater clarification processes by providing controlled fluid movement between process stages, tanks and associated treatment equipment.
Chemical Metering Systems
Booster systems can be integrated into chemical metering and dosing applications where controlled fluid transfer or pressure is required.
Storage & Settling Tank Transfer
Packaged booster systems can be used for transferring liquids to or from:
- Storage tanks
- Settling tanks
- Process tanks
- Holding vessels
- Treatment systems
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Booster pump skids can be configured for R/O (Reverse Osmosis) systems where the required process pressure and flow must be maintained.
The pump, motor, valves and controls can be selected according to the requirements of the RO system.
Boiler Feed Systems
Booster skid packages can be designed for boiler feed applications where reliable and controlled water supply is required.
The system can incorporate appropriate pumps, valves, instrumentation and automation according to the boiler feed requirements.
Potable Water Booster Pump Systems
Potable water booster packages are designed to provide controlled pressure and flow within water distribution systems.
The configuration can be customized according to the required duty, pressure and water system arrangement.
Process Cooling Systems
Booster skid systems can circulate process cooling water through industrial machinery, heat exchangers and other cooling equipment.
Automated control can be used to maintain the required pressure and flow conditions.
Booster Skid Package Components
A typical packaged booster skid may incorporate:
Industrial Skid Frame
A fabricated steel skid frame provides structural support for the pumps, piping, valves, instrumentation and associated equipment.
Industrial Pump
The pump is selected according to the application-specific flow rate, pressure, head and fluid requirements.
Multiple pump configurations can be considered where duty/standby or staged operation is required.
Manual & Actuated Valves
The system may incorporate manual or automated gate valves and other process valves for isolation and flow control.
Automation Controls
Integrated automation can provide control and monitoring of the booster package.
Depending on the project requirements, the system may include:
- PLC controls
- HMI touch-screen interface
- Pump start/stop control
- Pressure monitoring
- Flow monitoring
- Automatic sequencing
- Alarm indication
- Equipment protection
- Integration with existing plant automation
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Options
Booster pump systems can be configured with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) where variable-speed pump control is required.
VFD-based control can allow pump speed to be adjusted according to process demand.
Potential functions include:
- Pressure-based pump control
- Flow-based control
- Variable-speed operation
- Automatic speed adjustment
- Energy management
- Duty/standby sequencing
- Reduced mechanical stress during starting
The final control philosophy depends on the application and project requirements.
Customized Booster Skid Engineering
Every booster pumping application has different operating conditions. Aegis Projects can engineer the package around the specific requirements of the process.
Design considerations may include:
- Required flow rate
- Pump discharge pressure
- Required pumping head
- Fluid type
- Fluid temperature
- Pump configuration
- Number of pumps
- Duty/standby requirements
- Motor power
- VFD requirements
- Piping size
- Valve configuration
- Instrumentation
- Automation requirements
- Installation environment
- Available installation space
This approach allows the booster skid to be configured around the actual process rather than relying on a standard fixed arrangement.
Automation & Control
Packaged booster systems can be supplied with integrated automation or designed to communicate with the existing plant control system.
A typical automated booster skid may include:
- PLC
- Touch-screen HMI
- Pressure transmitters
- Flow measurement
- Pump control
- VFD control
- Automatic pump sequencing
- High/low pressure alarms
- Pump fault monitoring
- Emergency shutdown
- Remote monitoring interfaces
The control system can be configured for standalone operation or integration with PLC, SCADA or other plant automation infrastructure, depending on the project requirements.
Engineering & Design
Aegis Projects can develop the mechanical, piping, electrical and automation arrangement of the booster skid as an integrated package.
Engineering may include:
- Pump selection
- Skid layout
- Piping design
- Valve selection
- Instrumentation
- Electrical design
- Control panel design
- PLC programming
- HMI development
- 3D equipment modelling
- Fabrication drawings
- System documentation
Three-dimensional modelling can be used to review the equipment arrangement and piping layout before fabrication.
Applicable Standards & Engineering Requirements
Booster skid systems can be engineered with consideration for applicable industry standards, project specifications and regulatory requirements.
Depending on the project scope, engineering may consider:
- ASME piping requirements
- Applicable structural design standards
- Pressure equipment requirements
- Electrical and instrumentation standards
- Site-specific safety requirements
- Applicable environmental and regulatory requirements
The final standards and design requirements are determined according to the project location, application, equipment and customer specifications.
Factory Assembly & Testing
Where required, packaged booster skids can be assembled and tested before shipment.
Factory testing can include verification of:
- Pump operation
- Motor operation
- Valve operation
- Instrumentation
- Pressure control
- Flow control
- VFD operation
- PLC programming
- HMI functionality
- Alarm functions
- Automatic sequences
- Safety functions
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) can be arranged according to the agreed project requirements.
