Pigging Facility Without Pg Traps

01/17/2012 2:59 AM

Hi All,

How normal piping can be arranged to make it able to receive and send pigs (during commissioning phase)?

By designing it appropriately. Is there anything else that the forum can contribute to this one-word question?

Now I would design it properly.

But what I am wondering is: Should there be removable spool before it reaches the metering skid, or should it have a flanged tee the branch side of the tee to route further to the metering skid and flanged end of tee to receive/send pig.

So any help?

Surely the Client organisation has standards for this sort of thing (rhetorical question)? Surely it has been done before (rhetorical question)?

[Standards exist so that an engineering job happens right first time, thereby reducing the opportunity to screw things up.]

Yeah I deserved the comments from the forum members. I did not phrase my question properly.Anyhow thanks for help, I found the answer to my problem somewhere else.By the way I have been involved in the design of Remote degassing station, so have touched, seen, designed these pig launchers, flow lines, transfer lines, kicker valves, barred tees......Thanks for the wiki link for pigging though. I liked the pictures. Keep smiling.
