Launching a pipeline pig in pipelines
To launch a pipeline pig, follow these steps:
- Prepare the pig launcher. Make sure that the pig launcher is properly sealed and that the pig is securely loaded inside.
- Pressurize the pipeline. This will help to propel the pig through the pipeline.
- Open the pig launcher. The pig will be propelled into the pipeline by the pressure.
- Monitor the pig’s progress. You can use a pig signaler to monitor the pig’s progress through the pipeline.
Receiving a pipeline pig from pipelines
To receive a pipeline pig, follow these steps:
- Prepare the pig receiver. Make sure that the pig receiver is properly sealed and that it is pressurized.
- Open the bypass valve. This will allow the product to flow around the pig receiver.
- Open the isolation valve. This will allow the pig to enter the pig receiver.
- Monitor the pig’s progress. You can use a pig signaler to monitor the pig’s progress through the pig receiver.
- Close the isolation valve. Once the pig has entered the pig receiver, close the isolation valve to prevent any product from leaking out.
- Close the bypass valve. This will direct all product flow through the pig receiver.
- Open the vent valve and the drain valve. This will depressurize the pig receiver and allow the pig to be removed.
- Remove the pig from the pig receiver. Once the pig receiver has been depressurized, you can remove the pig.
