Water and Glycol Pump Skid Systems

A Water and/or Glycol Boosting skid system is a pre-engineered, packaged pump skid designed to increase the pressure and flow of water, glycol, or a water-glycol mix in a facility’s closed-loop system or distribution network. It typically includes pumps, controls, piping, valves, and instrumentation mounted on a compact frame for ease of installation, startup, and operation. They may also be referred to as Booster Pump Skids, Pressure Boosting Systems, Glycol Circulation Packages, or Water Boosting Units.

Benefits of Water and Glycol Booster Pump Skid Systems

Water and glycol boosting skid systems offer facility managers and operators a powerful combination of reliability, efficiency, and simplicity. These packaged solutions solve key challenges related to system pressure, flow consistency, and ease of operation.

Ensure steady and reliable pressure across closed-loop water or glycol systems
Reduce energy consumption with variable speed control and automated operation
Minimize downtime with engineered integration and fewer failure points
Eliminate space constraints through compact, modular design
Lower installation and maintenance costs versus field-built systems
Improve safety by eliminating manual handling of valves and pumps

Water and Glycol Booster Pump Skid System FAQs

What is a Water and Glycol Booster pump skid system?
It’s a pre-engineered system designed to elevate pressure and maintain flow in water or glycol-based loops. It includes pumps, controls, and instrumentation pre-mounted on a compact skid. These systems are often referred to as:

Booster Pump Skids
Pressure Boosting Systems
Glycol Circulation Packages
Water Boosting Units

Why are these custom pump skids important?
They prevent pressure drops that lead to pump cavitation, inadequate heating/cooling, and system inefficiency—key for maintaining performance and protecting expensive equipment.

What industries typically use a Water and Glycol Booster pump skid system?
Water and glycol boosting systems are critical wherever pressure stabilization, heat transfer, or fluid distribution is essential to the process or facility environment. Crane Engineering works closely with a variety of industries to meet their exact application needs.
