Water Filtration Skid Systems
The Mini Skid is a compact, portable water filtration skid designed for operations that need multi-stage water treatment at flow rates between 0 and 50 gallons per minute.
It ships fully integrated with vessels, pump, gauges, and valves pre-installed and configured to your inlet water conditions.
When your project needs a water treatment skid that is operational quickly without extended on-site installation time, you've come to the right place
What Ships With Your Mini Skid
Every unit arrives at your facility as a complete, pre-integrated compact pump and filtration skid. There is no additional assembly required on-site, and no separate component sourcing before you can place the system into service.
Each Mini Skid includes a pump sized to the operating flow range, filtration vessels pre-loaded with media selected for your inlet water conditions, setting and tracking gauges, and input and output valves for connection to your process line.
The full assembly mounts on a powder-coated skid frame built to hold up in environments with moisture or chemical exposure.
Because your filtration skid modules are configured before shipment based on your water analysis, what arrives at your site is specific to your project. You are not receiving a generic arrangement that requires field adjustment before it performs.
How the Mini Skid Treats Your Water
The Mini Skid runs your source water through a sequenced treatment process where each stage targets a distinct class of contaminants. Rather than relying on a single media pass, each vessel handles a specific portion of the contamination load.
Stage 1 — Sediment and Solids Removal
The first stage uses traditional filtration media to remove suspended solids and particulates from your incoming water supply. Depending on your inlet water quality, this stage achieves filtration down to 1 to 25 microns.
Clearing the solids load at this stage protects the downstream vessels and extends the service life of your carbon and final-stage media.
Stage 2 — Carbon Filtration
The second stage uses carbon filters to remove dissolved chemical contaminants that pass through mechanical filtration. This includes chlorine, chloramine, solvents, lead, insecticides, herbicides, and gases.
Carbon filtration is positioned after the solids stage because high particulate loads shorten carbon media life.
Sequencing it correctly keeps the carbon working on dissolved contaminants rather than being consumed by particulate.
Stage 3 — NSF-Approved Final Media
The final stage uses NSF-approved filtration media to address remaining chemicals, heavy metals, and dissolved inorganic compounds.
NSF certification means the media has been independently tested and confirmed to remove specific contaminants to defined performance levels.
If your project requires documented output water quality, needs to meet government water quality standards, or is subject to regulatory thresholds, NSF-approved media gives you third-party verification of what your system is delivering at the final stage.
PFAS-targeted media can also be specified here for projects where PFAS removal is a defined requirement.
Where the Mini Skid Gets Deployed
The portable water filtration skid format makes the Mini Skid the practical choice when your treatment system needs to travel with the work or when a permanent installation is not warranted.
Pilot scale water filtration programs are the most common starting point. Environmental consultants and remediation engineers use the Mini Skid to validate treatment performance on a specific water source before committing to a larger system.
The data gathered during the pilot informs the larger specification rather than leaving that decision to estimates.
Groundwater and wastewater remediation are primary use cases, particularly on sites where contamination levels vary and the industrial water filtration skid may need to be repositioned as the project progresses.
PFAS remediation projects also represent a consistent portion of deployments. PFAS-targeted final-stage media is specified at configuration, and the compact footprint suits sites with limited space or temporary access.
The small-scale water filtration system format also works for light manufacturing and commercial facilities that need a fixed point-of-use treatment system without the infrastructure of a fully plumbed treatment line.
Configuring Your Water Filtration Skid
Simply share your inlet water analysis and flow rate requirements with our engineering team.
We will specify the media, vessel staging, and configuration for your project and walk through what to expect from each stage before your unit ships.
Product Range
Capable of removing contaminants from 0-50 gallons per minute, suitable for a range of filtration requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Changeout frequency depends on the contamination load in your source water, not a fixed time interval.
A high-sediment inlet will exhaust Stage 1 media faster than a cleaner source running at the same flow rate, and dissolved contaminant concentration directly affects how quickly carbon media saturates.
Before your unit ships, you will get estimated changeout intervals based on your inlet water analysis.
If you are running a pilot program where contamination levels may shift, establishing a sampling schedule from day one lets you track media performance against actual field conditions rather than pre-shipment estimates.
You do not need a completed test to start a conversation, but inlet water data is required to finalize the media configuration before your unit ships.
If you have an existing water analysis, share it with our team and we will specify the right media and staging for each vessel.
If testing has not been completed yet, we can help you identify what parameters need to be measured before your system configuration is finalized.
The Mini Skid can run in either a continuous or intermittent mode depending on your project requirements.
Continuous operation is common in groundwater remediation and produced water situations where the source is actively flowing.
Intermittent use is more typical in pilot programs and testing scenarios where the system runs in defined sampling windows.
In either case, the primary operational consideration is media life management, which is addressed during configuration based on how you plan to run the system.
The treatment data gathered during your pilot becomes the foundation for specifying the next system.
Your contamination profile, media performance data, and documented flow requirements give our engineering team what they need to configure a modular water treatment system or a custom purification skid at the required scale.
The pilot phase is most valuable when sampling and performance tracking are built in from the start.
That data reduces uncertainty in the larger system specification and shortens the time between pilot completion and full-scale deployment.
Yes, and keep in mind the media selection depends on the specific composition of your produced water.
Produced water can contain suspended solids, dissolved salts, hydrocarbons, and other contaminants that vary significantly by source.
Before configuring a water filtration skid for produced water use, you will need to share an inlet water analysis identifying the contaminant classes and concentrations present. Media selection, vessel staging, and expected changeout intervals are all determined by that data.
The Mini Skid operates across the full 1 to 50 GPM range with no minimum threshold that triggers a performance issue.
In practice, very low flow rates affect contact time within each vessel, which can influence treatment efficiency depending on the contaminants being targeted.
If your operating flow rate sits at the low end of the range, contact time is factored into the media selection and vessel sizing during configuration to make sure treatment performance holds across your actual operating conditions.
