System Energy Efficiency: Efficiency Is Achieved at the System Level

When discussing energy efficiency in process plants, the focus is often on individual components such as pumps, motors, or variable-frequency drives.
However, the greatest potential often lies in the design of the overall system.
By combining pigging technology with intelligent distribution systems, multiple compatible products can be transported sequentially via the same conveying infrastructure. Instead of product-specific transfer lines, a flexible, shared pipeline infrastructure is created.

The benefits:

• Consolidation of piping and pumping systems
• Reduction in installed equipment
• Reduction in maintenance and servicing costs
• Up to 99.5% product recovery from the pipeline
• Minimization of flushing and cleaning efforts
• Reduction in energy consumption throughout the entire process

When combined with distribution units such as the T56 or T57 distributor, pigging technology becomes far more than just a tool for product recovery.

It becomes a tool for system energy efficiency:
Fewer conveyance routes. Fewer pumps. Less infrastructure. Greater efficiency.
