Product recovery systems = Pigging And pigs clean pipelines.

Pigging is a method of recovering products and raw materials from piping systems for sale or use eliminating waste.

Product recovery pigging is used in a number of different industries including lubricants,specialty chemicals and hygienic applications such as personal care and food.

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

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

Range of Application in Production Plants

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

INCREASED YIELDS & MARGINS

Instead of flushing residual product to waste, pigging systems allow you to process it, or pack, store or sell it.

HIGHER PROFITS, PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY

Pigging improves productivity and efficiency through higher yields, increased capacity, faster changeovers, reduced flushing, chemical washouts, and less waste. The result is higher profits and high return on ROI.

IMPROVED SUSTAINABILITY

The environmental benefits of pigging are significant: pigging saves on waste, water, chemicals, and related transport and disposal costs

REDUCED WASTE & PRODUCTION DOWNTIME

By reducing product waste, saving on cleaning agents and water. Pigging systems make cleaning easier and faster, changeovers much quicker, resulting in less production downtime.

WE ARE PROBLEM SOLVERS

At Element6, we are process plant designers at heart. Our pigging technology was developed to solve the challenges we saw in the plants we work with. Our solutions are designed to fit to how you operate your plant so you don’t have to operate around the system.

FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS

Element6 has 30 years of pigging and plant design history. We don’t have a standard product line. Instead, each system we develop is custom designed from our basic building blocks and manufactured to solve your specific problem.

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.
