Piping Asset Preservation for Packaged Equipment (Skids)

Modular skids are critical, high-value investments that combine various mechanical, electrical, and static assets. Don't let environmental exposure turn your "Plug-and-Play" equipment into a maintenance project. The P3 Asset Preservation System provides the specialized tools and standardized protocols required to protect every inch of your packaged equipment during transport and staging.

Packaged equipment presents a unique preservation challenge: you aren't just protecting a pipe; you are protecting motors, heat exchangers, instrumentation panels, and valves simultaneously. Standard covers fail to address the specific needs of internal components, leading to "hidden" corrosion that only appears during start-up.

We provide a comprehensive "Skid Protection Toolkit" allows your crew to create a unified protective environment across the entire skid from the smallest junction box to the largest vessel.

Skid Protection Toolkit:

• Nitrogen or Vapor phase corrosion inhibitor to protect exchangers/vessel internals
• Extreme outdoor corrosion inhibitor to coat/protect machined surfaces
• VCI Detection Test Kit
• Compatible grease/oil for pumps and motors
• Straps to rotate driven equipment
• Power cord/power supply
• VCI Emitters to protect electrical devices
• Megohmmeter
• flangeDOT+VCI or flangeDOT+Tag+VCI
• flangeBUMPER, flangeBUMPER+Gasket

 Preservation Process:

• Enclosure & Internal Sealing: Utilize the P3 Mechanical Preservation System to fog internal volumes. Immediately seal all open pipe ends with flangeDOTS® +VCI and flangeBUMPER® to lock in the protective atmosphere.
• Electrical & Instrumentation (I&C): Install VCI Emitters in all junction boxes, control panels, and instrument housings. This prevents the "green death" (copper oxidation) on critical connections.
• Machined Surface Protection: Treat all exposed, unpainted machined surfaces (shafts, couplings, flange faces) with approved outdoor corrosion inhibitors.
• Rotating Asset Maintenance: For pumps and motors, utilize rotation protocol (10 ½ turns monthly) to prevent bearing "flat-spotting" and ensure lubricant distribution.
• Environmental Management: Ensure skid drains remain clear and unobstructed to prevent water pooling. Connect anti-condensation heaters to a power supply as per the P3 "Active Protection" checklist.

*Ensure manufacturers short/long term preservation and storage procedures are followed...  Follow OEM recommendations where possible*

Key Benefits:

• Unified Protection Strategy: One system to protect mechanical, electrical, and static components.
• Ready-for-Service: Reduce commissioning time by up to 30% by eliminating the need for "de-preservation" cleaning and repair.
• Simplified Compliance: Standardized kits and tagging make it easy for inspectors to verify asset integrity during yard walk-downs.
• FOD/FME Security: Total encapsulation of all skid openings prevents the entry of wildlife, dust, and moisture.
