Packaging and deployment architectures — containerised, skid-mounted, mobile and remote. The treatment process is unchanged; the enclosure and the application are what differ.

Skid-Mounted Systems
The treatment train assembled on a framed skid for truck or crane installation. An application architecture, not a separate process.
Overview
The treatment train assembled on a framed skid for truck or crane installation. An application architecture, not a separate process.
This entry describes an application and packaging architecture. The treatment process inside it is documented separately — see the related technologies below. Nothing on this page states a standard capacity, because capacity follows from the design basis rather than from the packaging.
How it works
Separation mechanism and feed window. Bounded by the contained process.
What the process produces. Set by the contained process and the design basis.
Energy. Process energy only; a skid is not an enclosure.
Process sequence
Where this technology normally sits in a treatment train. The steps either side of it are documented in the Library as separate entries.
- Assembled treatment train on skid
- Crane or truck placement
- Local services connection
Typical applications
- Mining and industrial camps
- Construction sites
- Municipal satellite schemes
Main equipment
- Skid frame
- Contained treatment train
- Local control panel
Key design parameters
The parameters an engineer actually sets, and why each one drives the design. EngiMetric does not assume any of them.
| Parameter | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Design flow | Sets skid size and lifting weight. |
| Lifting and access envelope | Governs assembly options. |
Advantages
- Cheaper than full enclosure.
- Fast to install where crane access exists.
Limitations
- Limited weather protection.
- Still needs a good floor and services.
Engineering considerations
- Size the process in the Plant Designer; the skid carries no engineering of its own.
Status and EngiMetric support
Industry maturity and commercial status describe the technology itself. EngiMetric support and quantitative modeling describe what this platform does with it — and those two are read from the engineering registry at build time, so they cannot drift from the code.
- Engineering maturity
- Mature How established the technology is in the industry. Not an EngiMetric claim.
- Commercial status
- Established Where the technology sits in the market. Not an EngiMetric claim.
- EngiMetric support
- Information only No execution-registry entry exists, so no support is claimed.
- Design engine
- No Whether the Plant Designer can carry this as a configured process step.
- Quantitative modeling
- Partial No engine exists, so EngiMetric states no figure for this technology.

Design this as a plant
The skid frame is not engineered here. Configure the contained treatment train in the Plant Designer; the mass balance and equipment requirements are identical to a permanently installed plant.
EngiMetric does not model the packaging itself — there is no container, skid or transport model in the Plant Designer. What the designer carries is the contained treatment process, configured exactly as it would be for a central plant.
