Skid Mounted Fuel solutions

Compact, Heavy-Duty Fueling Solutions for Remote & Industrial Operations

Skid mounted fuel systems are self-contained fueling units built onto a structural steel skid base, allowing for easy transportation, rapid deployment and stable operation without permanent civil works.

They are ideal for sites that require mobility, flexibility and high-flow performance.

What Is a Skid Mounted System?

A skid mounted system integrates:

Pumps (duty and standby optional)

Filtration units
Flow meters
Electrical control panels
Valves and piping
Optional hose reels and dispensing assemblies

All mounted on a reinforced steel skid frame designed for lifting, transport and placement.

Unlike containerized systems, skid units are open-frame or partially enclosed, making them ideal for pump assemblies and modular fuel transfer stations.

Typical Applications
Skid systems are commonly used in:

Mining refueling stations
Satellite pits Exploration camps
Generator refueling setups
Fleet depots Industrial processing plants
Agricultural bulk fuel handling

They are particularly effective where:

Fuel needs to be transferred between tanks
Pump redundancy is required
High-flow refueling is necessary
Space is limited

Key Advantages

Rapid deployment (no major civil works required)
Easy relocation between sites
Modular integration with bulk storage tanks
Reduced downtime during installation
Lower HSSE exposure compared to field-fabricated systems
Built off-site under controlled manufacturing conditions

Core Components

1. Pump Assemblies

Electric or diesel-driven pumps
High-flow mining-rated pumps
Duty/standby configurations for redundancy
Variable flow rate options

2. Filtration Systems

Pre-filtration and water separation
Fine particulate filtration
Clean fuel assurance for heavy equipment
Jet fuel and AvGas compatibility (if required)

3. Metering & Flow Control

Mechanical or digital flow meters
High-accuracy metering
Batch control systems
Optional integration with fuel management systems

4. Electrical Control Systems

Weatherproof control panels
Emergency shut-off systems
Automatic pump switching (duty/standby)
Alarm integration
Remote monitoring capability

5. Structural Skid Frame

Heavy-duty structural steel construction
Forklift pockets
Lifting lugs
Anti-corrosion coating systems
Designed for harsh mining conditions

Application

Designed for Mining Conditions

Skid systems for mining are typically engineered for:

Dust-heavy environments
Extreme temperatures
Continuous operation
High-volume diesel transfer
Remote power supply condition

They can be paired with:

Self-bunded tanks
Containerized storage units
Automated fuel management systems
Remote telemetry

Optional Enhancements

Dual pump redundancy
High-capacity filtration banks
Explosion-proof electrical components
Solar or generator power integration
Remote diagnostics capability
SCADA or ERP integration

Operational Benefits

Skid mounted systems allow operations to:

Maintain continuous fuel flow
Reduce downtime due to pump failure
Improve fuel cleanliness
Increase refueling efficiency
Scale operations as sites expand

They are especially valuable in expansion projects and temporary mining phases.

Fuel dispensing skid

The PETROBUILD Offloading & Dispensing Skid is a fully integrated, containerised fuel transfer solution designed for the safe, efficient, and accurate offloading and dispensing of petroleum products.

The skid is engineered for use in mining, construction, fuel depots, transport operations, and remote industrial applications where reliable fuel transfer and metering are essential.

The system combines high-performance pumping, precision metering, filtration, and robust Schedule 40 piping within a secure ISO container structure. The skid is suitable for compatible petroleum products.

The skid is designed to perform two primary functions:

Offloading fuel from road tankers or bulk delivery vehicles into storage tanks.
Dispensing fuel from storage systems into mobile equipment, vehicles, or secondary storage.

The entire system is mounted within a containerised structure for portability, environmental protection, and operational safety.
