PIPELINE PIGS
For many years, the oil industry has cleaned greater diameter pipes using pipeline pigs. In many continuous and batch process facilities, the need for tiny diameter pigging devices is currently growing as plant operators look for ways to boost efficiency. The manufacturers of these pig launchers and receivers adhere to the exacting quality standards set by CSA Z662, ASME B31.3, and ASME Section VIII-1 rules and standards.
Any blockage in a pipeline due to the build-up of deposits will affect production and, in the worst case, may lead to excess pressure causing the pipeline to rupture. Effective cleaning, by the use of pigs, means unhampered production and increased safety.
Pipeline pigging is the process of maintaining and cleaning pipes with the use of animals called “pigs.” Although the phrase may sound strange, it stands for “Pipeline Inspection Gauge/Gadget.” Although the procedure may seem straightforward at first, it actually involves a highly specialized pigging operation, and the pigs used for this purpose must meet the strictest international standards in order to maximize cleaning. During the pigging process, any internal damage is identified, and it is made sure that the pigs do not in any way harm the pipelines.

pipes must be pigged on a regular basis to achieve an efficient flow rate. Pipeline Gauging Systems (Pigs) are the device/tool used to clean the internal surfaces of the pipeline which are occupied by debris, dust, and scale formation. This ensures full use of pipes by improving their lifespan.
With years of experience and technological proficiency in producing utility cleaning pigs and polyurethane tools for MFL/EGP, LC Industries has expanded its reach into both local and international markets, building a solid clientele and solid reputation in the process.
