Common Pump Skid Components
A typical packaged pump skid may include the following components:
Industrial Skid Frame
A robust fabricated steel skid frame provides structural support for pumps, piping, valves, instrumentation and associated equipment.
Piping System
Piping can be engineered according to the application and may be supplied in materials such as steel or PVC, depending on fluid compatibility and process requirements.
Industrial Pumps
Pump selection is based on the required flow rate, pressure, head, fluid characteristics and operating conditions.
Manual and Actuated Valves
The package may incorporate manual or automated ball valves, gate valves and other process valves according to the system design.
Automation Controls
The system can include PLC-based automation and HMI controls for equipment operation, monitoring, alarms and process control.
The automation system can also be designed for integration with existing plant infrastructure.
System Documentation
A complete system documentation package can be provided, including operating information and user manuals in applicable formats.
PLC & HMI Automation
Packaged pump skids can be supplied with an integrated automation system for centralized control and monitoring.
Depending on the project requirements, the control system may include:
- PLC controller
- Touch-screen HMI
- Pump start/stop control
- Automatic sequencing
- Flow monitoring
- Pressure monitoring
- Level monitoring
- Valve control
- Alarm indication
- Equipment protection
- Process monitoring
- Integration with existing plant controls
This allows the packaged pump system to operate either as an independent automated package or as part of a larger plant automation system.
Factory Testing & Quality Assurance
Packaged pump skid systems can undergo factory assembly, inspection and testing before shipment.
Factory testing can be used to verify:
- Pump operation
- Piping integrity
- Valve operation
- Instrumentation
- Electrical connections
- PLC functionality
- HMI operation
- Automation sequences
- Safety functions
- System performance
Where required, customers can participate in or witness factory acceptance testing prior to shipment.
Training and start-up commissioning support can also be provided according to project requirements.
