Intelligent Pigs or Smart Pigs are used to inspect and collect a variety of data about the condition of a pipeline, this is called an In-Line Inspection or ILI.<\/p>\n
Examples of the data collected during an ILI are:<\/p>\n
A clean pipeline surface is needed in order to run an intelligent pig, and imperative to the integrity of the data collected.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Making assumptions that the pipeline is clean, using the wrong type of pig, or not performing enough pre-cleaning pig runs, can be detrimental to the pigging program and lead to costly problems when running smart pigs, or needing to re-run the smart pig, which immediately eliminates any gains which may otherwise have been made.<\/p>\n
The types of pigs<\/a> used for pre ILI cleaning depends on a variety of factors including the type and size of line, product running through the line, the existing maintenance pigging program.
