Bestar Steel provides fully integrated Pipe Skids and modular process units for the oil, gas, petrochemical, and power industries. Unlike bare pipe spools, our skids are mounted on structural steel frames and integrate piping, valves, instruments, pumps, and electrical systems. Backed by our advanced prefabricated piping capabilities, we ensure precise fit-up and zero-leakage performance. Engineered for high-pressure and corrosive environments, they guarantee "plug-and-play" installation, significantly reducing on-site welding and commissioning time.

Core Skid Types
1. Metering Skids
Function: Designed for precise measurement and custody transfer of crude oil, natural gas, or liquids.
Key Components: Coriolis/Orifice flow meters, flow computers, sampling systems, and control valves.
Application: Upstream wellheads, pipeline transmission, and refinery terminals.
2. Pressure Regulating Skids
Function: Reduces and regulates high-pressure gas to a stable, safe downstream pressure.
Key Components: Pressure regulators, safety shut-off valves (SSV), relief valves, and filters.
Application: City gate stations, natural gas distribution networks, and industrial gas supply.
3. Chemical Injection Skids
Function: Accurately doses and injects chemical additives (corrosion inhibitors, methanol, biocides) into the process stream.
Key Components: Metering pumps, chemical storage tanks, flow control valves, and pressure gauges.
Application: Oil & gas pipelines (preventing hydrate formation), water treatment, and refining.
4. Manifold Skids
Function: Centralizes the gathering, distribution, and routing of fluids from multiple sources into a single flow.
Key Components: Heavy-duty valves, headers, choke manifolds, and pressure transmitters.
Application: Oil & gas wellhead gathering, production testing, and waterflood distribution.
5. Pump Skids
Function: Provides a pre-packaged, skid-mounted fluid transfer solution for high-pressure or high-volume pumping.
Key Components: Centrifugal/Positive Displacement (PD) pumps, electric motors/diesel engines, control panels, and base frames.
Application: Crude oil transfer, boiler feedwater, firewater systems, and pipeline boosting.
6. Filtration & Separation Skids
Function: Removes solid particles, water, or impurities from liquid or gas streams to protect downstream equipment.
Key Components: Filter separators, coalescers, mesh pads, and differential pressure gauges.
Application: Natural gas processing, produced water treatment, and fuel gas conditioning.
Quality Control & Testing
NDT: 100% RT/UT for pipe butt welds; PT/MT for structural welds.
Pressure Testing: Hydrostatic and pneumatic testing per ASME B31.3.
