Pump skids for fluid transfer are often found in field and factory processes. These skids move a broad range of fluids: from asphalt, cement slurries and drilling mud to potable water, hot condensate and every imaginable liquid chemical. Pump skids typically range from 10 HP electric-powered units to 1500 HP diesel skids with multiple pumps.

At many industrial and municipal facilities, the production of biogas is a key part of operation, and biogas measurement is necessary to ensure facility efficiency and safety.

Modular skid systems are increasing in popularity in the process industry as a way for owner/operators, OEMs, and plant engineers to fabricate their unit operations.

The expanding global demand for energy has led to growth in the power generation market.

While many power generation companies have moved away from coal due to an increasingly stringent regulatory environment and/or concerns with climate change, many countries continue to rely on their vast coal resources to maintain a low cost to consumers while insuring a level of energy security.

Modular skid systems are becoming increasingly popular in the process industries, as owner/operators, OEMs and plant engineers fabricate their unit operations as skids for greater efficiency and decreased site disruption. This post discusses level and flow instrumentation for batching and blending skids and is part of an occasional Magnetrol® blog series on level and flow control for skid system applications.
