Our experts provide full turnkey solutions—from system design and customization to installation and support—ensuring your pigging system for the chemical industry is optimized for long-term success and compliance.
1. High Product Recovery
Pigging recovers up to 99.5% of residual chemicals from pipelines, significantly reducing product loss—especially valuable for high-cost or specialty chemicals.
2. Reduced Cross-Contamination
By completely clearing the lines, pigging prevents cross-contamination between batches, ensuring consistent quality and safer chemical formulations.
3. Lower Cleaning Costs
Since most of the product is pushed out by the pig, less water or solvent is needed during cleaning, leading to reduced CIP time, lower chemical usage, and decreased disposal costs.
4. Increased Operational Efficiency
Pigging enables faster product changeovers and reduced downtime, allowing for more flexible and efficient production schedules.
5. Environmental Compliance
By minimizing waste and solvent use, pigging helps chemical manufacturers meet environmental regulations and reduce their ecological footprint.
The pigging for the chemical industry primarily relies on crude oil, natural gas, minerals, and bio-based feedstocks to produce essential chemicals like polymers, solvents, and industrial gases.
They follow international standards (e.g., ISO, REACH, EPA), implement hazard assessments, and conduct regular batch testing, certification, and audits to meet regulatory and safety requirements.
Green chemistry emphasizes designing chemicals and processes that reduce waste and energy use, using renewable feedstocks and safer solvents—contributing to sustainable, eco-friendly production.
From R&D through scale-up, chemical manufacturing projects typically take 12–36 months, depending on complexity, safety testing, regulatory approval, and pilot-scale trials.
Consumer products often contain polymers, surfactants, preservatives, solvents, dyes, and fragrances – the same core chemicals used in broader industrial settings.
