Pigging Unit Lube Blending Plant
Utilizing pigged pipeline technology proves advantageous for the transfer of a diverse range of products. Addressing a significant challenge in Lube Oil Blending Plants, pigged manifolds seamlessly interconnect numerous source tanks with various destinations like filling and loading. This innovative approach enhances efficiency and resolves complexities associated with managing multiple product transfers within the blending facility.
Pigging Units serve the purpose of cleaning residual products from pipelines to prevent contamination, and they are strategically engineered to minimize the number of pipelines within a plant. The key elements of a pigging unit include the launcher, receiver, and catcher positioned at opposite ends of the pipe. A valve is incorporated to regulate the compressed air or
gas utilized for propelling the pig, which travels through the pipeline to eliminate any remaining liquid. The pig can be easily inserted into or extracted from the catcher for maintenance purposes.
The remaining liquid is gathered at the end of the pipe and transferred to the residual collection tank. Following this, the pig is withdrawn and prepared for the subsequent task. The pigging lines are seamlessly incorporated into the plant automation system and managed via a PLC. Any lines that are not suitable for pigging must be cleaned manually in accordance with the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
Advantages Of Pigged System
1. Decrease in the quantity of lines can be observed.
2. Enhancement in quality and productivity is achieved
3. Prevention of base oils and additives from getting mixed, thus avoiding cross contamination
4. Decrease in expenses related to cleaning.
5. Minimization of waste is also a benefit.
