In pigging systems, the Pig Receiver (Receiver Station) plays a critical end-point role, serving as core equipment that ensures pipeline cleanliness, operational efficiency, and process safety. Precision-engineered and installed at pipeline terminals, it specializes in receiving, temporarily storing, and relaunching pigs.

Core Features
- Reliable Receiving & Storage: Acts as the final destination for pigs after pipeline cleaning, ensuring secure containment within specialized receiver barrels.
- Efficient Pig Return: Supports reverse pigging to launcher stations, enhancing operational flexibility and reducing downtime.
- Safe Pressure Relief: Integrated pressure release mechanisms ensure safe depressurization before maintenance access.
- Enhanced Cleaning Performance: The compression effect during pig entry intensifies scraping action, removing residual contaminants to guarantee pipeline cleanliness and maintain flow efficiency.
Custom Engineering
We tailor solutions to industry-specific needs (Oil & Gas, Chemical, Food, Pharma):
- Structural Customization: Skid-mounted or fixed designs. Receiver dimensions and pressure ratings (ANSI/ASME, PN) engineered to pipeline specs.
- Material Selection: Carbon steel, Stainless Steel (304/316L), Duplex steel – optimized for corrosion resistance and media purity.
- Functional Options: Standard safety valves, gauges, and drain valves. Optional pig indicators, ASME BPE quick-opening closures, automated PLC/DCS controls, and repressurization systems.
- Process Integration: Seamless connection with upstream/downstream operations.
Critical Safety Features
- ASME-Compliant Fabrication: Manufactured to ASME Sec VIII Div 1 or equivalent pressure vessel standards.
- Safety Interlocks: Pressure-locking mechanisms prevent access during pressurized operation.
- Impact-Resistant Support: Engineered to withstand pig impact forces and operational loads.
