Chemical storage skids are essential modular units in offshore facilities, designed for the safe storage and controlled injection of process chemicals.
Chemical storage skids are self-contained units that integrate storage, containment, and injection systems for process chemicals used in offshore operations. These units are designed to meet stringent safety standards while ensuring reliable chemical delivery to process systems.
Broadly speaking, the most significant highlights of this type of storage system are as follows:
- Safe containment and storage of process chemicals
- Controlled chemical injection into process systems
- Secondary containment for spill prevention
- Chemical level monitoring and management
- Safe access for maintenance and refilling
- Storage tanks
- Secondary containment basin or tray
- Transfer / circulation pumps and distribution manifold
- Level sensors and gauges
- Safety relief valves
- Loading/unloading connections
- Control panel
