Active Speed Control Pig

The Inline Speed Control Pig (SCP) safely and effectively cleans 30” to 56” high velocity pipelines through active speed control technology, maintaining operator-specified speed without a reduction in flow. Redundant odometers provide accurate real-time speed and distance measurement, while advanced sensor technology records differential and pipeline pressure, temperature, orientation, and product bypass percentage. The SCP also includes a 22HZ transmitter for tracking capabilities.
  • Speed of Tool – up to three odometer data sets
  • Time
  • Distance traveled
  • Inertial data (Impact/Rotation/Pitch/Roll/Yaw/Vibration)
  • Pipeline Pressure
  • Pressure Differential
  • Temperature
  • Vane Opening
  • Gas flow velocity (derived from data)
  • Definition of low spots (derived from data)
  • Battery usage
  • Reduced Fuel Costs – a clean pipeline delivers natural gas more efficiently
  • Increased Customer Satisfaction with higher quality gas delivered
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs such as filter replacements
  • Proactive Contaminant & Debris Removal to minimize the breeding ground for corrosion

Inline Services has designed and manufactured the Speed Control Pig with the highest quality components available to withstand and perform within the harsh pipeline environment.

RESOURCES

  • Proven to be a more effective pipeline cleaning and maintenance tool for higher gas flow velocity pipelines
  • Particularly justified for cleaning high gas volume pipelines without having to reduce gas flow
  • Enhances pipeline integrity – having the cleanest possible pipeline avoids less than satisfactory ILI results and the risk of missed or miscalled pipeline anomalies
  • Provides a controlled tool speed platform for add-on Pipeline Evaluation Tool options
  • Provides a platform vehicle for alternative pipeline cleaning methods with either multiple cleaning discs and wire brushes or Prostran cleaning brushes for coated pipe
  • Promotes Safety – provides cleaning tool movement and trapping at safe and manageable speeds.
  • Easy to launch, retrieve and clean
  • Easy to track due to a predictable tool speed, on-board Transmitters, and Magnetic or Geophone tracking response
  • Capable of long distance pipeline runs
  • A tough, rugged and durable pipeline tool with proven survivability
  • Provides a service based alternative to the pipeline operator buying and maintaining cleaning pigs
  • Provides speed control for towing a broad range of maintenance or ILI tools
  • A clean pipeline lowers risk and offers compliance with any regulatory cleaning requirements
  • Peace of mind; a clean pipeline is safe and environmentally friendly. 

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Designed to clean high velocity pipelines without costly interruptions in flow
  • Pig speed is reduced to a specified, safe and efficient rate
  • Variable bypass suspends debris and contaminants in turbulent flow ahead of pig and delivers to the receiver.
  • Reduced velocity prevents hydroplaning over liquids and debris
  • Onboard electronics record pipeline data including differential and pipeline pressure, temperature, orientation, and bypass percentage.
  • Provides towing capability for ILI tools lacking speed control.
  • Versatile body design allows for onsite re-configuration of pig accessories for cleaning, gauging, liquid removal and chemical disbursement, among other application-specific builds.

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.
