Skid Design Service engineering
ProSIM is an engineering design service company offering skid design service and skid engineering service. As engineering design consultants, Skid engineering service is a part of engineering design service, delivered by engineering outsourcing business model of ProSIM. Skid design service is also delivered as offshore engineering service for customers outside India.
ProSIM carries out design calculations as part of skid design service. Design qualification of skid is done for different code compliance like AISC, API, ASME, IBC, UBC etc. ProSIM has executed more than 800 skids design services for skids of compressors, dryers, pumps, transformers, inverters, and such packages subjected to different loading conditions like, wind, seismic, Ice, wave acceleration, piping, transportation & lifting load cases.
As computer aided engineering consultants, ProSIM provides CAE services for various industries using different types of skids. ProSIM has carried computer aided engineering outsourcing activities for skid users across the world. To deliver CAE services, CAE models of skids and mountings are developed using software such as HyperMesh.
FEA engineering services are provided for skid developers, using a variety of FEA software like ANSYS, OPTISTRUCT & RADIOSS. Results postprocessing is done using HyperView.
Using its deep knowledge of finite element analysis, ProSIM acts as FEA consultants and provides offshore FEA services to variety of industries using skids. FEA consultancy service at ProSIM includes design verification, code check, qualification and design optimization. To achieve the same, skid strength evaluation is done for different loading conditions as below:
- Static Loads: Permanent weight of the equipment, axillaries & self-weight of the skid
- Dynamic Loads: Wave accelerations, handling/ lifting & transportation loads
- Environmental Loads: Wind, seismic, Ice and other environmental conditions
Skid design modifications suggested for compliance with code for critical loading conditions like lug lifting & buckling condition. Code compliance check (like, Deflection & maximum stress below allowable/ material yield stress limit) done against relevant standards.
Optimization of the skid design is done as needed by adding stiffeners to reduce stress concentration, additional cross supports to reduce deflection level and using higher grade material.
