FAQ
What is a slurry skid?
A slurry skid is a modular unit designed to mix and dose filter aid, typically diatomaceous earth, in two separate mix tanks. One tank is used to prepare the precoat for the filter press before starting the filtration of the dirty fluid, while the second tank is used for body-feed dosing during operation to keep the filter cake porous.
How does a slurry skid work?
Slurry is pumped into the skid where solids are captured on filter media (plates, cloth, or cartridges), while the clean filtrate is discharged for reuse or disposal.
What are the main applications of a slurry skid?
It is used in oil & gas drilling, offshore completion operations, always used with a filter press.
What flow rates can it handle?
Depending on the skid size, slurry skids can process from 5 m³/h up to over 300 m³/h (32BPM) depends on the manifold size often 4 or 6 inch.
What industries use slurry skids?
Oil & gas, mining, geothermal, and chemical processing industries.
What certifications are available?
Skids can be supplied with DNV 2.7-1 offshore certification.
What spare parts are required?
Kits for the air driven pumps, valves and gauges.
Are slurry skids available for rental as well as purchase?
Yes, Dutch Filtration provides slurry skids both for sales and as part of its rental fleet.
What are the advantages of using a slurry skid?
A filter press without a slurry skid is useless if a filter aid / diatomaceous earth is required.
Can slurry skids be customized?
Yes, they can be tailored with other style mixers, stackable confirguration, automation systems, and pump types to suit specific process requirements.
