A topside module frame is provided with at least a bottom process deck and a first elevated process deck. Both process decks have a rectangular perimeter defined by two parallel longitudinal sides and two parallel lateral sides. The vertical loads from the process decks are carried by four main support columns to four module support foots. The process decks are joined to each other by four truss structures: one on each side of the perimeter. Furthermore, each of the four main support columns has a battered section ending in a bottom point located on one of the lateral sides of the bottom process deck. This way, two bottom points are located on one of the lateral sides of the bottom process deck and two other bottom points are located on the other lateral side of the bottom process deck. The module support foots are located vertically below the bottom points.
