Pigging Systems

Almost all filling and pumping systems can be optimised with the I.S.T. pig.

Even the most complicated pipework can be fully automated with the I.S.T. pigging system, even those in which more than 50 different substances must be transported over long distances. As a result operation is considerably more cost-effective, safe and efficient. Of course the best idea is to choose an I.S.T. pigging system right from the start when you are planning a new filling and pumping system. However, existing systems can be converted into pigging systems at any time, and consequently greatly improved. The decisive factors for retrofitting are pipework layout and the quality of the pipes' inner surface.

Which I.S.T. pigging system is the right one for you depends on the type of work you need it for. How many and what kind of products do you want to convey? What level of cleaning do you expect? What is the limit of your investment expenditure? Just a few questions which need to be answered before planning begins. Whatever the final result, it will definitely be a customised one, and the optimum solution for your needs.

Either one or more pigs may be used - in the following systems:

The pigs are loaded into the system whenever necessary and then removed. The system works on a oneway principle. Recommended for work such as loading ships or for long distance pipelines.

The I.S.T. modular concept

With the I.S.T. modular concept planning and installtion of your special pigging system can be fast and systematic. All stations are particularly compact and compatible, i.e. can be easily replaced or adapted to changes in conditions at a later stage.
