heater skids
Heater skids are a sub-assembly of a complete Fuel Gas Filtration Packages Skids or Fuel Gas Conditioning Systems, which are used to preheat fuel gas to the desired temperature at specific pressure and flow rate, before feeding to the actual process (or equipment such as Gas operated Turbines, generators or other process applications). This system can also be used for superheating the gas for other industrial applications.
Heater skids are specially designed to monitor and control gas flow with multiple safety features for the risk-free operation, as well as by considering the incoming gas properties along environmental conditions to achieve the desired outlet flow conditions.
Even though each Heater Skid is custom-made to suit respective process specifications, a typical Heater Skid assembly consists of:
- Electric heater bundle
- Pressure vessel or housing for the heater bundle
- Control Panel for the Heater operation control
- Temperature sensors such as RTD’s, Thermocouples, Temperature transmitters
- Pressure safety valve
- Valves for flow control
- Power & instrument wiring
- Skid base for easy installation at site
Note: Additional scope such as extended piping, scrubber installation, instrumentation for flow, pressure and level monitoring, and more can be provided for your specific requirements.

FAQ’s
What are heater skids used for in industrial filtration systems?
Heater skids are used to maintain optimal fluid temperatures in fuel and oil filtration systems. By preventing cold-temperature thickening and improving flow rates, they ensure efficient containment removal and protect downstream equipment during startup and operation.
Can I rent heater skids for short-term or emergency needs?
Yes. PFP offers heater skid rentals for temporary or emergency filtration applications. Whether you’re comissioning a new system, facing cold-weather startup challenges, or need backup heating support, our skid-mounted units are ready for rapid deployment.
What industries commonly use heater skids?
Heater skids are widely used in power generation, aviation fuel handling, petrochemical refining, and bulk fuel storage. Anywhere temperature-sensitive fluids are filtered – especially diesel, jet fuel, or hydraulic oils – heater skids play a critical role in maintaining system reliability.
Are your heater skids compatible with other specialized equipment?
Absolutely. PFP’s heater skids are designed for seamless integration with filter vessels, coalescers, separators, and high-flow systems. They can be configured inline to pre-heat fluids before entering critical filtration stages.
How do I know what size or type of heater skid I need for my application?
Our team will help you determine the correct heater skid based on key factors like fluid type, target temperature, flow rate, ambient conditions, and existing filtration system components. We offer both off-the-shelf and custom-configured options to meet your exact process needs.
What support is available after I rent or purchase a heater skid from PFP?
PFP provides full technical & on-site support before, during, and after deployment. This includes startup guidance, integration assistance, troubleshooting help, and replacement parts. Our experienced team ensures your heating and filtration system performs reliably in the field.
