The Importance of Unobstructed Flow

For companies that depend on an unobstructed flow of product, pipeline cleaning produces a level of assurance that their pipelines will continue to be free flowing. Buildup inside the piping system will slow that flow of product, and can in time plug the pipeline.  This level of obstruction can cause hazardous cracks and flaws to the pipeline.

Pipeline Pigs, or Poly Pigs, expedite the cleaning of piping systems by scraping the inner walls of the pipes and clearing or pushing out the debris as it moves along. The poly pig can also be set to inspect the line as it cleans.

Professional Piping Services offers various pipeline cleaning solutions for various types of industries, including but not limited to; refineries, food processing, chemical, and manufacturing plants, as well as making newly constructed pipelines ready prior to being commissioned.

There are general steps taken that apply to the majority of piping systems to be cleaned such as; arranging the pipes valving to segregate the leg that is being cleaned, locating and operating all lateral and/or in-line valves that will be used during the pigging session, insuring the direction of the integrity and flow of the pipeline by the launching of a line size swab, and utilizing a series of pigs in various densities and/or dimensions to obtain optimal cleaning.
