The three main advantages of skid-mounted systems are:
Mobility
Skids are assembled as modular units, so skid mounted process equipment can be more easily disassembled and reassembled when required.
Protection
The frames of skid-mounted systems provide an added level of security, support, and protection for industrial equipment which often includes complex piping, delicate valves, and other valuable components.
Modularity
Modern production facilities must have the flexibility to change in response to evolving business requirements. This means that modularity, or the ability for process components to be separated, moved about and recombined, is vital as processes are reconfigured.
