White Paper: Product Recovery Systems

It is economically beneficial to the processing industries to remove and recover product remaining in the pipelines of the process system. Product recovery ("pigging") has been used in the petrochemical industry for over thirty years and today the method has been adopted by the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, dairy, food and beverage industries, to recover products and to clean piping networks. A&B Process Systems have both designed and coordinated the incorporation of product recovery systems in the process industries. The design necessarily considers several factors, e.g., the ability to consistently recover the product efficiently, ease of maintenance and the inclusion of both automatic and manual controls. The "pig" (so called because of the squealing noise it makes as it moves through the pipes) is a flexible projectile, driven at high speeds by air or nitrogen or by a liquid medium such as water or cleaning solutions.
