Pigging technology


“Pigging technology” is one of the topics that has been with us since the founding of our company. Starting with traditional subjects such as pipeline cleaning and media separation in long-distance pipelines, we have evolved to tackle more specialized issues. These include specialized pigs (pigs for the paper industry, pigs for wastewater technology in lines operated solely by geodetic height differences, etc.), non-intrusive pig detectors, and special solutions for pipelines that cannot be pigged (Tepi-T-Trap).

Our long-standing engagement with this topic is reflected not only in numerous successfully completed projects but also in our co-authorship of the book “Handbook of Pigging Technology” published by Vulkan Verlag (ISBN 9783802730535).
