Core Components & Functions

1. Pigs

As the core component of the system, pigs are typically made of rubber, polyurethane or other materials in various shapes (e.g. spherical, cylindrical). Propelled by fluid pressure inside pipelines, they move along the pipe to remove deposits, scale and other contaminants from pipe walls, ensuring efficient and clean pipeline operation.

2. Pigging Stations

The key facility of pigging system for launching and receiving pigs. Equipped with launchers and receivers to ensure smooth pig insertion and extraction. The stations also include valves, pressure monitoring devices etc. to control pigging operations and monitor pipeline status for safe operation.

3. Control System

Our pigging system features advanced automated control to ensure safe and efficient pig movement. The system can perform cleaning, inspection, isolation or medium transfer tasks while monitoring pig position, speed, and real-time pipeline parameters like pressure and flow rate to guarantee operational safety and efficiency.
