In-Line Cleaning (Pigging Service)
Enhance Pipeline Efficiency and Reliability with Advanced Pigging Technology
Optimize Your Pipeline Performance with Safe, Proven, and Cost-Effective Pigging Solutions
In the oil & gas industry, fluid flow efficiency depends greatly on the cleanliness of your pipeline.
Deposits such as paraffin, sludge, rust, or scale can cause pressure loss, reduced throughput,
and even corrosion or leakage.
PT Saka Nusa Persada provides In-Line Cleaning Services using Pigging Methodology,
ensuring your pipelines remain clean, safe, and operating at their highest performance levels.
What Is Pigging?
Pigging is an in-line maintenance technique where a mechanical device called a pig travels
through the pipeline to clean or separate fluids. It is used for cleaning, gauging, drying, batching,
and pre-commissioning operations—often performed without shutting down the line,
minimizing production loss.
Why Choose Our Pigging Service
- Efficient Deposit Removal
Removes paraffin, scale, sludge, rust, and unwanted materials that restrict flow. - Improved Flow & Reduced Pressure Drop
A clean pipeline means smoother flow, lower pumping energy, and reduced operating costs. - Prevents Internal Corrosion
Eliminates corrosive buildup that can compromise pipeline integrity. - Supports Pre-Commissioning & Integrity Programs
Ideal for new pipelines, rehabilitation projects, or preparation before Intelligent Pigging (ILI)
inspection. - Safe, Reliable & Minimizes Downtime
Performed online with proper HSE control, ensuring continuous operation and zero disruption.
Types of Pigs We Use
- Foam Pig / Poly Pig – for general cleaning, dewaxing, and drying.
- Brush Pig – equipped with wire brushes for heavy-duty descaling and rust removal.
- Batching Pig – for separating chemicals, inhibitors, or different fluids.
- Gauging Pig – used to verify internal roundness or detect obstructions.
- Magnetic Pig (Optional) – collects ferrous particles during cleaning.
Our Work Process
- Engineering Assessment
Pipeline data collection and evaluation: diameter, length, pressure, product type, and expected
deposits. - Pig Selection & Planning
We determine the most suitable pig type and configuration for optimal cleaning results. - Equipment Preparation & Mobilization
Launcher–receiver setup, pig tracking devices, and HSE equipment are prepared according to
project scope. - Pigging Execution
Operation performed in accordance with industry standards (ASME, API, ISO). - Monitoring & Tracking
Real-time pig tracking ensures accurate pig passage and retrieval. - Reporting & Recommendations
Comprehensive post-operation report with findings, deposit analysis, and maintenance
recommendations.
