Are these for Nat. Gas Dehydrator units?? Would of course depend on size unit, but on land usually see 2" lines around the pump. Control valve piping though can go much smaller.

Waht type of service?? Size will be a function of overall flow.

 
pumps....thanks for the obvious advice. I was trying to familiaize myself with the application. Also, I was under the impression these forums for open for discussions which is the reason for the question. I thought it would generate a little conversation and get into some talks that would educated further than the customer would do.

Dud,
the skids are used on offshore drilling rigs for oil.
 

What type of volume are you talking about pumping?? Are you pumping mEG into production stream subsea, or is this for topside gas dewatering treatment for gas stream only?

Everything in the design of the skid will begin with the volume of chemical you need to pump. Offshore services can vary from small liters/hr all the way to hundreds of gallons per minute.

Could you please elaborate on the actual injection service you are talking about? You say drilling rig; is it for the drilling process, or is it in fact a production platform and therefore part of the production process??
 
breaker34,
You asked a very open ended question and since you mentioned you already have a customer looking for some valves for a specific purpose, he must have the type and size of valve he is looking for.

Any other replies from fellow members may not be relevant to your requirement.

Do some research your self before asking.
