Soluble Pigs
Select Inhibited Soluble Pigs are solid sphere shaped balls or cylinder shaped plugs.
OIL-SOLUBLE type pigs (for oil systems) contain micro-crystalline wax, paraffin inhibitor and pour point depressant.
WATER-SOLUBLE type pigs (for water systems) contain a water-soluble surfactant and corrosion inhibitor.
PRODUCT USES & ADVANTAGES
SOLUBLE PIGS are used to clean out paraffin deposits and other unwanted accumulations inside of pipes. THE OIL SOLUBLE PIGS contain paraffin inhibitor and pour point depressant. The residual traces of inhibitor help prevent re-deposition of paraffin for a short period of time. The pour point depressant helps the oil that contacts the pig flow easier at lower temperatures. SOLUBLE PIGS can be used in any length lines. The ball type pigs can go around 90 degree turns that may stick rubber or plastic pigs and are very inexpensive as compared to rubber or plastic pigs or hot-oil treatments. Pigs do not interfere with other production and pipeline chemicals.
*Solubility depends on temperature and fluid movement.
