Metering skid design involves creating a compact, modular system used for accurately measuring and controlling the flow of fluids, typically in oil and gas or chemical processing industries. Key elements include:
- Structure: The skid framework is designed for stability and easy transport, often made of steel or other durable materials.
- Flow Meters: Various types of meters (e.g., turbine, ultrasonic, or Coriolis) are integrated to measure fluid flow accurately.
- Valves and Controls: Automated valves and control systems regulate flow rates and pressure, ensuring precise operation.
- Instrumentation: Pressure and temperature sensors, along with data logging equipment, provide real-time monitoring and reporting.
- Safety Features: Safety shut-off valves and emergency protocols are included to mitigate risks.
The design emphasizes ease of installation, maintenance, and adaptability to different fluid types and operational requirements, ensuring reliable performance in dynamic industrial environments.
