WHAT IS PIGGING?
Product Recovery Systems = Pigging

Pigging is a method of recovering raw and intermediary materials, and finished goods from piping systems, increasing yield and eliminating waste.

Product recovery pigging is used in a number of industries including lubricants, specialty chemicals, personal care, and food & beverage.

Range of Application in Production Plants:

Bulk product receiving and shipping
Raw material transfer and dosing
Transfer between processes
Product transfer to filling lines

Limited only by your imagination

Beyond large oil pipelines, Pigging Systems are also applicable for:

Coatings, inks and adhesives
Sealants and waterproofing
Lubricants and grease
Personal care products
Pharmaceutical products
Washing and cleaning agents
Food and beverage products

Environment and Sustainability

Higher Profits, Productivity & Efficiency

Increased Production, Reduced Downtime

Pigging provides a sustainable solution to product changeovers by recovering product, reducing waste, lowering the consumption of cleaning agents and water, and eliminating disposal costs.

Pigging improves productivity and efficiency through higher yields, reduced cycle time and faster changeovers. The results are higher profits and ROI.

Many people think of engineering as a pretty straightforward, linear undertaking. It’s not in our world. We aren’t formulaic and being rebellious by nature we love to test norms and dispel the notion they are essential.

That’s our sweet spot.
It’s what attracts firms to our service and keeps them working with us.

For managers motivated by simplicity, accuracy and certainty, we are the preferred partner. If you’re someone who appreciates knowing what you’re paying for and being assured of the outcomes of our work at all times, we should talk.

Please reach out to us when you’re ready for innovative expertise and solutions that deliver quantifiable productivity improvement.
