PT&P‘s Sweco Fab division custom designed and manufactured pig launchers and receivers for a chemical plant in Saudi Arabia. A pig launcher is a pressurized container used to shoot a cleaning device (called a "pig") through the pipeline to perform a variety of functions including cleaning, monitoring, and maintenance of the pipe. Pig launchers & Receivers are used in a variety of industries such as oil and gas, paint manufacturing, food processing, and in cross-country pipelines. The main advantages of pipeline pigs are inspection and cleaning which can be conducted without disrupting line contents, shutting down pipeline flow, and helping to prevent cross-contamination saving both money and time for plant operations as well as maintenance teams. These units are fabricated from stainless steel 316 L, SA 106-B, and SA -105. Dimensions for these pig launchers and receivers are 4", 6", 8", 10", and 14" in diameter and range from 72" to 98" long. They are mounted on 48" tall stands. They are designed for an operating temperature of 221°F with an operating pressure of 117, up to 205 PSI.
