Understanding HPS Advanced Liquid Product Recovery (Pigging) Technology
HPS’s core technology, known as “pigging”, is a revolutionary process designed to recover residual liquid product from pipelines. This innovative system uses a specially designed projectile, called a “pig”, which is propelled through pipelines to push out and recover valuable product that would otherwise be wasted during changeovers.
There are numerous benefits of pigging, including:
- Increased product yield: By recovering product that would typically be lost, companies can significantly increase their overall production output.
- Reduced waste: Less product left in pipes means less waste and lower disposal costs.
- Water and chemical savings: The pigging process reduces the amount of water and cleaning chemicals needed for pipeline cleaning.
- Improved efficiency: Faster changeovers between product batches lead to increased production time.
- Enhanced product quality: By ensuring thorough removal of previous products, pigging helps maintain product integrity and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
