The Pigging Products and Services Association (PPSA) was formed in 1990 and now has over 90 members, representing the pigging industry throughout the world.

The Association is entirely funded by its members through their annual subscription fees. Its aims are, “To promote the knowledge of pigging and its related products and services by providing a channel of commu- nication between the members themselves, and with users and other interested parties”.

PPSA plays a major role in providing information and sourcing equipment and services, for pipeline operators and the industry generally and responds to hundreds of enquiries each year.

The PPSA web site enables visitors to source the products and services they need quickly and easily and provides a link to PPSA’s technical information service.

PPSA runs seminars and training courses on pigging, sponsors lectures and meetings about the subject and supports relevant conferences.

Full Members are companies manufacturing or marketing pigging products and services. Associate Members are companies connected with the industry, e.g. operators, suppliers and allied industries. Individual Members are anyone with an interest in pigging.

For further information, technical enquiries, or to find out how to join the Association please contact:

WHY PIG A PIPELINE?

It is generally agreed that a pipeline should be pigged, but the reasons for doing so are not always fully appreciated. This may result in improper pigging programs and/or the use of the wrong type of pig and this could have an adverse effect on the pipeline’s operating and maintenance costs.

A pipeline is arguably the most efficient method yet devised for transporting fluids – whether gases or liquids. Its relative efficiency though, depends upon two fundamental requirements: 1. It must operate continuously. 2. The required throughput must be obtained with the least capital investment and the lowest operating costs.

Utility pigs and In Line Inspection tools (‘intelligent/smart pigs’) play a major role in both obtaining and maintaining these ‘two fundamentals’: 1. They help to ensure continuous operation by: – removing any substance which might damage the pipeline process systems – helping to prevent the formation of corrosion cells – providing timely information of any developing problems – providing data on any perceived problems to enable informed decisions to be made – providing an alternative to shutting down for statutory periodic testing. 2. They help to ensure maximum efficiency by: – removing any debris or foreign matter in the line – removing any deposits, either liquid or solid, which might otherwise build up and restrict the flow – by monitoring the operating and/or physical conditions of the line.

In short, pipeline pigs help to ensure that the pipeline is constructed properly – and that it stays that way.

Pigging is required during each phase in the life of a pipeline, typically:

During construction For general maintenance and repair i) Removing debris from the line i) Corrosion inhibition ii) Pressure testing ii) Pre-inspection cleaning iii) Commissioning iii) Decommissioning During operation iv) Isolation i) Pipe wall cleaning v) Recommissioning ii) Condensate removal During renovation/rehabilitation iii) Product separation i) Gel pigging iv) Applying inhibitors ii) Applying in situ coatings For inspection iii) Chemical cleaning i) To check for damage iv) Scale removal ii) To detect corrosion or cracking v) Product conversion iii) Leak detection Decommissioning iv) Sampling i) Product removal v) Line cover and spanning ii) Inerting

Many pipeliners only resort to pigging when a problem becomes apparent and they have no other choice. Often, this is too late. The damage has been done and a multi-million dollar investment is put at risk. Use of the correct type of pig and a proper pigging program will help to maintain the integrity and optimum efficiency of the pipeline; safeguarding both the environment and the assets of the pipeline owner. The PPSA book: “An Introduction to Pipeline Pigging” will provide guidance in this respect, but if in any doubt, contact should be made with a PPSA member company, who will be pleased to advise.
