VP Pigging System

provides an efficient pipe cleaning and recovery of product

Why need for product recovery? At the conclusion of a product transfer through a pipeline, a certain amount of residual product inevitably remains in the system. This leftover product can result in unnecessary waste and lost revenue. Traditional methods such as flushing pipes with water or other detergents not only waste material, but also increase the burden on the environment.

BJVP MACHINES

How Pigging Systems Work in Fluid Pipelines?

The process involves sending a cylindrical device, known as a "pig," through the pipeline, propelled by compressed air or nitrogen. The pig is constructed with an elastomeric exterior, slightly compressed, which facilitates the removal of any remaining product as it moves through the pipeline. The pig effectively scrapes the pipeline’s inner walls, collecting and pushing out any leftover product into a recovery container. This allows for maximum product recovery, reducing waste and ensuring that every last bit of valuable material is efficiently captured.

Benefits of Using VP Pigging

  • Cost reduction and profitability improvement

    By recovering the remaining valuable product in the pipeline, the BJVP pigging system directly reduces material waste, lowers production costs, and thus improves the profitability of the enterprise. Companies are able to use raw materials more efficiently and reduce additional procurement costs due to lost products.

  • Zero Cross-Contamination

    Clean up the remaining liquid in pipeline, No cross contamination when transferring different liquids.

  • Maximized Product Recovery

    Highly efficient residue removal minimizes product waste and ensures 99.8%+ material recovery rate.

  • Flexible Control

    When the liquid transfers through the main pipe, the remaining liquids can be swept to any designated branch pipe so that the cross contamination will be avoided, adaptation to diverse process requirements.

  • High Automation

    Easy to operate, simple to manage, eliminating costly human mistakes.

  • Space-Saving Infrastructure

    Significantly reduces pipeline infrastructure requirements and saves valuable floor space - up to 40% less piping compared to traditional systems.

  • Environmental benefits and sustainable development

    The pigging system reduces the use of wastewater and other cleaning agents generated by flushing pipes, reducing environmental pollution, and achieve sustainable development.

Wide Applications of VP Pigging

Pigging systems are Widely used in a variety of industries such as:

  • 1.  Paints & Coatings

  • 2.  Chemical Additives

  • 3.  Lubricating Oils

  • 4.  Food & Beverage

  • 5.  Petroleum and NaturalGas

  • 6.  Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology

Helping businesses reduce waste and increase profitability.

INDUSTRIAL PIGGING & HYGIENIC PIGGING

Industrial Pigging

Recover product, efficiently remove residue, and withstand demanding conditions including high temperatures, high pressure, corrosive media, and frequent operations. Pipelines typically utilize welded or flanged connections for sealing performance, primarily serving the oil & gas, chemical industry.

Hygienic Pigging System
Hygienic Pigging System

Hygienic Pigging

Prioritize thorough cleaning, zero residue, and contamination-free processes. After pigging, pipelines are flushed with water or cleaning agents. For rapid disassembly and sanitation, hygienic tri-clamp (Tri-Clover) connections are used, making them ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Magnetic Pigs

Made of elastic material, good sealing and wear resistance

VP Cleaning Pigs
Design and material selection of pigs

A pigging ball is a spherical or near-spherical pipeline cleaning device made of elastic materials (e.g., rubber, polyurethane). Propelled by the internal medium (e.g., gas or liquid) within the pipeline, it travels through the pipe to perform cleaning tasks. The material is typically wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant elastomers such as polyurethane (PU) or synthetic rubber, ensuring durability and adaptability to diverse pipeline environments.

VP utilizes globally advanced polyurethane manufacturing technology. We have developed sweeping balls made of different materials, which have excellent elasticity, sealing, and wear resistance, Commonly used ones include: Composite PU, Fluoroelastomer, Silicon Rubber, Steel Brush

The outer surface of the pig is specially treated to effectively scrape off residual product from the inner wall of the pipe.

Optimization and control of the drive system

The pigging system uses compressed air or nitrogen as the driving medium, and the pressure be adjusted based on the length of the pipe and the characteristics of the product to ensure the stable movement of the pig.

The system is equipped with advanced sensors and control systems to monitor the position and speed of the pig in real time for precise control and automatic operation.

  • Industrial-grade pigs adopt a modular detachable structure, facilitating maintenance and reducing costs.

  • Sanitary-grade pigs must be designed with a seamless one-piece structure to ensure no dead-angle design, eliminating the risk of medium residue.
