Water is the most valuable resource on the planet. Man has developed multiple ways to treat it, reuse it, and save it, but we all have to help. Pigging is imperative to the overall plan. Process plants utilize millions of gallons of water per year, a lot of which is consumed in cleaning and flushing process lines. Pigging can reduce water consumption in multiple ways.
- Pigs remove over 99% of leftover materials, greatly reducing the amount of water necessary to clean the line.
- Slugs of water can be transferred through the lines with multiple pigs, greatly reducing time.
- Less wastewater results in less treatment costs and a smaller impact on the environment.
