Apache pigPRO Series 67 Intrusive Pig Passage Indicator

  • Detects precise pig location during a run
  • Visual flag indicator with manual reset
  • Customized ball valve allows for safe isolation of indicator for pipeline pressure inspection, maintenance or repair
  • Includes a thread mounting nipple, isolation extended lower housing, fluorocarbon O-Rings, and hemisphereical plunger with flag assembly

RESOURCES

Aluminum extensions can be attached to enable detection of the pig’s passage on buried pipelines. All pressure sealing components, including the isolation ball valve, remain below the extension module. Available in lengths of 2′ to 8′.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • The integral isolation feature of the Model 67 means the cost, time and safety concerns of de-pressurizing and draining a line are eliminated. Now the pig passage indicator can be isolated, removed, repaired and reinstalled while the pipeline is flowing and pressurized. Preventative maintenance, inspection or repair are easily accomplished without specialized equipment or crews.
  • Includes a thread mounting nipple, isolation extended lower housing with fluorocarbon O-Rings, and hemispherical plunger with a flag assembly.
  • Aluminum extensions can be attached to enable detection of the pig’s passage on buried pipelines.
  • All pressure sealing components, including the isolation ball valve, remain below the extension module. Available in lengths of 2’ to 8’.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Inline Services is proud to be the exclusive U.S. distributor of the Apache pigPRO™ Series 67 Intrusive Pig Passage Indicator

    THE MODEL 67 IS A VISUAL FLAG INDICATOR WITH MANUAL RESET AND COMES STANDARD WITH AN ISOLATION BALL VALVE.
    The Model 67 adds safety and servicing options to our existing line of intrusive pig passage indicators. Like other available models in the patented pigPRO™ series, it reliably detects the precise location of a cleaning pig as it travels within the pipeline network. When a pig passes the pigPRO™’s intruding plunger, it activates the plunger and triggers a visual flag indicator, signaling the pig’s location.  Incorporating a customized BV with an extended lower housing into the design of our model 67 pigPRO™ allows for a safe and simple isolation of the pig passage indicator from pipeline pressure for inspection, maintenance or repair. Complete removal and re-installation on any pressurized line is easy using the included tool kit and does not require specialized hot tap professionals or equipment.

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.
