Benefits of Pipeline Cleaning Pigs

Pipelining is an invaluable vehicle for securing, cleansing and transporting a variety of materials, such as gas and oil. Within pipelining, there are primarily four different purposes for pigging:

  • To separate different liquids moving through the pipes.
  • Gauging and documenting different physical attributes of the pipeline.
  • Monitoring the condition of the pipeline's interior.
  • Cleaning the inside of the pipes.

Multi-Diameter Enduro Pigs

There are new challenges constantly arising in the pipeline industry. One such challenge is pigging a portion of line that has two or three different diameter sizes. Drinkwater Products has worked closely with manufacturers to design and advise in the construction of these dual-diameter pigs. Enduro pigs, have been especially successful in maintaining a strong seal as it transitions from one pipe size to another. In addition to Enduro, Knapp Polly Pig has had great success with its Nova Cast designs. Although a challenge, multi-dimensional pipelines still need to be cleaned and maintained. Just remember that prevention and repair is much less costly than complete pipe replacement. Drinkwater Products is also available to perform repairs and replace parts for any of the products you purchase from us.
