Pigging is a mechanical cleaning approach involving specialized “pigs” that propel through the pipeline, effectively removing water, debris and other contaminants. Pipeline pigs got their name from how earlier versions of the device would squeal as they traveled through piping systems.
A pipeline “pig” also serves as an acronym for pipeline inspection gauge or pipeline intervention gauge. These specialized tools are inserted into the pipeline and propelled by fluid or gas, performing a variety of functions based on their design, including cleaning, inspection and liquid separation.
Pigging is crucial in maintaining the efficiency, safety and longevity of high-scale industrial projects. Over time, pipelines can accumulate debris, corrosion and contaminants that decrease performance and lead to costly downtime. Pigging ensures piping remains clean, blockage-free and structurally sound. By preventing corrosion and detecting defects early, pigging contributes to uninterrupted operations and extends the life of pipelines.
