Piping and Pumps
(OP)
Hello,
Can anyone please leave a link or introduce me a book that explains the basics of loading/ offloading skids design.
Thanks,

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

I would like to read more about the basics of designing a piping system for a loading / offloading skid. Like where to put what valve or filter and these kind of information.
Thanks,

Find out what is being pumped, from where, to where, at what flow rate.
Determine if the skid is capable of doing that, comment appropriately.
Find out what materials are suitable for the piping, valves, and any other appurtenances. Determine if the skid is designed appropriately, and comment.
find out what, if any, regulatory rules prevail, and comment on whether the skid takes this into account or not.
Find out what climate is applicable, indoors, outdoors, cold, hot, humid, dry, etc, and comment on whether the skid is designed appropriately.
Find out how the skid will be operated, manually, locally, remotely, etc, and comment appropriately.
Find out if skid needs to be portable or not, review design, and comment appropriately.
Find out what power supply is available, review design, and comment appropriately.
That will be a good start.

Find out what your company does, find out what they want from you, find out how they did their last job and what lessons learned were written down to do the next one easier, smarter, cheaper and faster.
Your question makes no more, and actually much less, sense than "tell me how to design a pipe."

I would think that might be a good place to start.

You need to find out the local road authority requirements for the loads on track. Some authorities ask for 2g acceleration in all directions to design the equipment and its connections to the skid and track.
You can get better help from structural engineers.
Hope it helps.

Thank you for your questions, and your responses. But recognize that we do not know enough to help, to even begin to plan a way to help - much less tell where to look for more information - without more details. And, without specific details (liquid oxygen behaves differently than melted tar and has different hazards than gasoline or sand blasting grit or wheat or the "mud" pumped from drilling support trucks. An insecticide or lawn fertilizer "skid" is as important to its customer as the liquid oxygen is, and just as likely to be fined for misuse of the load, but a lawn fertilizer skid or septic tank skid won't be operated by the same level of training and supervision as a NASA-provided liquid oxygen refueling truck.
Without enough information, our effort is both useless, wrong, and a waste of time; or useful helpful and will save you much effort. All at the same time.

My reply there was equally "impertinent" for this same reason:
