Custom Design & Fabrication

Chemtec builds skids and systems for petroleum applications worldwide. From initial product design through testing and startup, Chemtec offers the industry’s most complete package from start to finish. All Chemtec skids are built to meet specific customer requirements. All welding, assembly and testing is performed at Chemtec’s modern fabrication facility. Quality is ensured since all structural welding, pipe welding and product assembly is performed by qualified and experienced Chemtec employees.

Ethanol and Biodiesel Blending

Chemtec ethanol blenders are flexible in design and offer a wide range of component selection. Unlike competing products that are highly inflexible, Chemtec ethanol blenders are designed to meet all user-defined specifications for product design, flow meter, control valve, and controller selection. The flexible design ensures that each blender meets the requirements of the project - not the blending limitations of the manufacturer. Each blender is designed to provide the user with a prefabricated, complete, stand-alone solution for blending ethanol. Chemtec blenders provide for 1-4 streams and may be fabricated in the vertical or horizontal plane. Blend control may be provided by the Chemtec MicroPAC blend controller or a customer specified controller.

Features include:

• Vertical or horizontal configurations
• Each skid supports up to four blend streams
• Galvanized steel structure with powder-coated piping
• PD or turbine meter
• Control valve options including MOV, hydraulic, or pneumatic
• Blend control utilizing Chemtec MicroPAC or third-party blending electronics

Product Loading & Off-Loading Skids

Shop fabricated skids from Chemtec are an ideal way to control costs, ensure timely delivery, and minimize cost. From initial product design through onsite startup/commissioning, Chemtec offers the industry’s most complete package from start to finish.

• Top Loading Truck Rack Skids
• Bottom Loading Truck Rack Skids
• Railcar Loading Rack Skids
• Truck Off-Loading Skids

All Chemtec skids are built to meet specific customer requirements. A modular design ensures the product can be easily packed and shipped to the customer’s site via truck, rail, or cargo ship. Chemtec skids are also designed to minimize reassembly and startup expense once the skids are delivered on site. Chemtec works closely with all major equipment suppliers including Emerson/Daniels, FMC/Smith Meter, Brodie, IDEX, OPW, EMCO Wheaton, and Scully. All welding, assembly and testing is performed at Chemtec’s modern facility. Quality is ensured since all structural welding, pipe welding and product assembly is performed by qualified and experienced Chemtec employees.

LACT Skids

Chemtec LACT skids are prefabricated, skid-mounted assemblies used at attended or unattended leases (LACT) and loading\unloading (ACT) points to determine the quantity and quality of liquid hydrocarbons.The purpose of LACT skids is to ensure accurate hydrocarbon measurement between owners and their customers.

LACT units allow dynamic custody transfer of merchantable liquid hydrocarbons by:

• Acquiring and retaining representative composite samples over time
• Determining quantity and quality of the hydrocarbons and
• Re-circulating liquid hydrocarbons that need further treating.
• LACT units need to be fail-safe to shut down or divert when excess water content is detected

Pig Launcher & Receiver Skids

Chemtec Pig Launcher & Receiver skids are prefabricated, skid-mounted assembliesthat can be designed for pipelines of any size and pressure ratings.Chemtec launchers and receivers can be designed to accommodate scraper pigs, sphere pigs or smart pigs, or any combination of the three.

Metering Skids

Pipeline metering applications require specialized skills to ensure the safe transportation and accurate measurement of petroleum products. Custom fabricated metering skids from Chemtec are an ideal way to meet these objectives. Chemtec metering skids are fabricated and assembled at Chemtec's Willis, Texas facility. All welding is performed by certified welders and then tested per customer requirements. To further ensure weld integrity, all piping is also subjected to hydrostatic testing. The finished skids are delivered to the jobsite completely assembled, painted, and tested, resulting in considerable time and cost savings versus field fabrication. In fact, shop fabricated skids are typically 25% less expensive than an identical field fabricated skid.

All welding, assembly and testing is performed at Chemtec’s modern fabrication facility. Quality is ensured since all structural welding, pipe welding and product assembly is performed by qualified and experienced Chemtec employees.
