Above Ground Marker (AGM)

Inline’s AGM, built with COMTEL® technology, allows for reliable, unattended pig tracking and data collection. The Above Ground Marker (AGM) is powered by 4, C cell alkaline batteries that provide an average of 2.5 weeks run time.  Using high reliability technology, it detects and records 22Hz and/or magnetic pig passages to GPS synced UTC time.  The collected data can be easily downloaded and analyzed while in the field or at the shop with a laptop and USB cable. Because pipelines run through some of the most diverse and extreme terrains,  Inline’s AGM is designed for both durability and high performance.  In addition to being extremely lightweight and compact in size, The AGM is waterproof and can withstand temperatures over 120 degrees, and under -10 degrees. Inline’s Above Ground Markers are available for sale or rent.

Simple Pigging System with Drop-Out

This animation demonstrates an Inline Services VIPRS pig running through a line where a JB pig receiver unit is present. Before the pig is placed in the line the valve has been closed so that no product is present behind the VIPRS pig. As the pig moves through the line the inside of the pipe is cleaned and excess product is pushed through to the destination. Once the pig triggers the magnetic pig senor and reaches the JB receiver unit, the unit is removed with the pig inside. Once the pig is removed, the receiver is returned to the pipe.

Simple Pigging System Closure

This animation demonstrates a simple pigging system closure. Inline’s VIPRS pig is positioned in the launcher as the product is run through the pipeline. At the end of the product run, the VIPRS pig is launched to remove all product from the line. The pig will trigger the indicator to alert that the pig has reached the end of the line.

Bi-Directional Pigging

This animation demonstrates Bi Directional Pigging. Inline’s VIPRS pig positioned in the launcher as product is run through the pipeline. At the end of the product run, the VIPRS pig is launched to remove all product from the line. When the VIPRS pig reaches the JB receiver, the propelling media is turned-off. When this happens the VIPRS pig is resting at the jail bar in the JB receiver; propellant is used on the receiver side of the pig to return it to the launcher.

Automated CIP System

This animation demonstrates a fully automated VIPRS bi directional pigging process system with CIP. Inline’s VIPRS pig is first positioned in the pig launcher. The product is pumped from the storage tank to the destination. The VIPRS pig is then launched to push the remaining product to the destination and captured in the VIPRS wash chamber at the destination station. Next, the CIP solution is pumped through the line to wash the chamber and pig. Finally, the pig pushes the CIP solution out of the piping and leaving the pig clean and ready for the next product run.
