Custom Process Skid Packages | Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger & Finned Tube Bundle Assemblies
At Yuhong Group Co., Ltd., we deliver custom, factory-tested skid-mounted process systems (Process Skid Packages) tailored for the oil & gas, petrochemical, refining, and energy industries. By integrating high-efficiency shell and tube heat exchangers, pressure vessels, air coolers, structural steel bases, and smart instrumentation, our turnkey skids provide plug-and-play field installation that drastically minimizes site labor and downtime.
In addition to complete skid manufacturing, we are a leading OEM supplier of high-precision internal replacement parts, including engineered u tube bundles, finned tube bundles, custom heat exchanger tubesheets, and forged structural accessories.

What is a Skid-Mounted Heat Exchanger Package?
A process skid (skid-mounted system) is a self-contained, block-fabricated equipment system mounted within a structural steel frame. Instead of assembling individual shell & tube heat exchangers, valves, pumps, and control systems on-site, Yuhong Group designs, fabricates, pipes, codes, and hydro-tests the entire system inside our advanced manufacturing facilities.
Our customized skids seamlessly integrate:
-
Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger units for severe temperature and pressure operations.
-
Modular cooling units featuring high-surface-area finned tube bundle assemblies.
-
Gas/liquid separators, filtration units, control valves, piping manifolds, and electrical wiring.
Types of Process Skids & Material Specifications
We engineer process skids suited for harsh environments, corrosive process fluids, and sour gas applications ($H_2S$ service adhering to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156):
Available Skid Classifications:
-
Gas Conditioning & Fuel Gas Regulating Skids: Utilizes custom u tube bundle heat exchangers for gas preheating and liquid separation.
-
Oil & Gas Separation & Metering Skids: Integrated with high-pressure separators and precision flow loops.
-
Chemical Injection & Heat Recovery Skids: Modular units incorporating specialized alloy shell and tube heat exchangers for maximum energy recovery.
-
Air-Cooled Heat Exchanger Skids: Features heavy-duty finned tube bundle modules for offshore and desert environments with scarce water resources.
Material Options for Shells, Piping & Tube Bundles:
-
Carbon Steel: ASTM A106 Gr. B, A516 Gr. 70 (HIC/SOHIC resistant grades available).
-
Stainless Steel: Austenitic 304/304L, 316/316L, 321, 347H for chemical resistance.
-
Duplex & Super Duplex: S31803 (2205), S32750 (2507) for marine, brine, and high-chloride environments.
-
Nickel Alloys: Inconel 625, Incoloy 825, Hastelloy C276 for extreme sour crude and elevated temperature loops.
Key Components & Spare Parts Directory
Whether ordering a complete skid or sourcing replacement parts for plant turnarounds, our component manufacturing capacity covers all critical items:
| Skid & Heat Exchanger Component |
Technical Function & Role in System |
Available Material & Design Standards |
| U Tube Bundle / Straight Tube Bundle |
The primary thermal transfer core in the shell and tube heat exchanger; handles expansion naturally without expansion joints. |
Stainless Steel, Nickel Alloys, Duplex, Carbon Steel (ASME Sec VIII / TEMA Class R, C, B) |
| Finned Tube Bundle |
Expands external heat transfer surface area significantly for forced-draft or induced-draft air cooling modules. |
Extruded Aluminium Fins, KL-Fin, L-Fin, Embedded G-Fin on Seamless Base Tubes |
| Heat Exchanger Tubesheet |
Heavy forged disk securing the tube bundle; precision-drilled via multi-axis CNC machines to prevent cross-leakage. |
Forged Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel Clad, Solid Alloy Forgings (SA266, SA336) |
| Baffles & Tie Rods |
Directs fluid flow across tube passes to eliminate dead zones, optimize heat transfer, and prevent flow-induced vibration. |
Carbon Steel, 316L Stainless Steel, Brass, Anti-vibration Rod Baffles |
| Valves, Manifolds & Instrumentation |
Regulates pressure, temperature, and fluid routing across the skid package automatically via PLC/DCS interfaces. |
Flanged or Welded Globe, Ball, Check Valves; Smart Transmitter Arrays |
| Structural Steel Base Frame |
Heavy I-beam/channel frame engineered to withstand lifting, sea transport, wind loads, and operational vibration. |
ASTM A36, Structural Carbon Steel with Epoxy or Marine-grade Coatings |
Operational Advantages of Yuhong Skid Systems
-
Plug-and-Play Installation: Pre-wired, pre-piped, and factory-tested units eliminate up to 80% of field assembly time and labor costs.
-
Uncompromising Quality Control: Every u tube bundle and heat exchanger tubesheet undergoes strict non-destructive testing (NDT), including RT, UT, MT, and Hydro-static testing prior to skid mounting.
-
Minimized Plant Footprint: Compact, 3D-modeled multi-tier designs save valuable plot space in refineries and offshore platforms.
-
Single-Source Accountability: From raw seamless piping and finned tube bundle fabrication to skid structural welding, Yuhong Group manages the complete value chain.
Technical Guidance & Maintenance Best Practices for Engineers
1. Vibration & Fatigue Management in Skid Piping
In skid units carrying high-velocity multiphase fluids, piping and tube bundle vibration can cause joint cracking or flange leaks.
2. Thermal Expansion Differential in Rigid Skid Framing
Because process piping and exchanger shells operate at higher temperatures than the structural base frame, thermal growth must be accommodated.
-
Solution: Slotted bolt holes, sliding saddles, and flexible piping loops are integrated to absorb axial and radial movement, extending seal life on the heat exchanger tubesheet.
