Removing liquids such as water, oil, condensate or even product such as yogurt from a line will require a high sealing pig like the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inlineservices.com\/product\/foam-disc-pig\/\">Foam Disc Pig<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inlineservices.com\/product-category\/product-recovery-systems\/\">VIPRS\u00ae<\/a>. Removing wax could require more rigid discs, but will bypass to keep the wax moving ahead of the pig. Tight radius bends could require an all urethane pig like a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inlineservices.com\/product\/uni-flex-range\/\">Uni-Flex\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0or when frequent maintenance pigging is required perhaps replaceable discs or cups that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inlineservices.com\/product\/bd6-series\/\">BD-6<\/a> has may be more economical.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pipeline Design and Fittings:<\/strong>\u00a0The pig launcher and receiver are two important fittings in pipeline pigging. The launcher is used to introduce the pig into the pipe and the receiver collects it once the cleaning job is done. Safety closures prevent accidents from happening by limiting access to the pipeline while it\u2019s under pressure to retrieve the pig.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inlineservices.com\/product\/dust-bags\/\">Dust bags<\/a>\u00a0can be used to catch dust and debris removed by the pig. Barred tees will prevent the pig inadvertently traveling into a branch line, and long radius bends aid the progress of the pig.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Valve and Internal Obstructions:<\/strong>\u00a0Pipes with varying internal diameters and valves could prove to be a challenge during pigging. In light of this, before any pigging starts, it\u2019s important to clearly establish if there are any internal features that might affect the pig\u2019s progress. This will help maintenance crews use appropriate pigs and pigging methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Have Questions?
