FOR TOUGHEST CLEANING & SCRAPING OPERATIONS

Mill scale, pipeline corrosion, even rock-hard mineral deposits are no match for rugged PolyEurope poly foam pig cleaners equipped with silicon carbide straps or flame – hardened wire brushes. Made from tough polyurethane foam, the Red Series (5-7 lbs. cu. ft. density) feature a hard polyurethane criss cross pattern with spirally applied silicon carbide straps. Use this type for removing hard encrustations in all pipe sizes over medium length runs.The Scarlet Series (8 – 10 lbs. cu. ft. density) criss cross silicon carbide and wire brush PolyEurope poly foam pigs are recommended for longest runs, multiple turns and toughest cleaning action. The Special Series (70 – 75 lbs. cu. ft. density) studded PolyEurope poly foam pigs are used for removal of hardest encrustations and used for decoking of industrial lines.

FOR EFFICIENT PIPELINE WIPING

Red or Scarlet criss cross PolyEurope poly foam pigs feature hard polyurethane bands spirally applied on tough polyurethane foam cores. Density ranges are 5 – 7 lbs. cu. ft. (Red) and 8-10 lbs. cu. ft. (Scarlet). Both types easily turn 90° ells, cross tees and slip through valves.The Red or criss cross is ideal for new construction and on-stream cleaning. The Scarlet criss cross models are recommended for extra cleaning or wiping and for long pipeline runs.

FOR DRYING PIPELINES

When your pipeline maintenance calls for mild scraping, final drying or water removal after hydrostatic testing, select a Red Swab, Red Bare or Scarlet Bare poly foam pig. PolyEurope bare poly foam pigs are made of durable, resilience flexible polyurethane foam ranging in density from 1 up to 10 lbs. cu. ft. PolyEurope poly foam pigs resist mild acids, caustic solutions and hydrocarbons. The cylindrical Red Swab has a vapor seal on one end. The Red Bare and Scarlet Bare models are cylindrical with a bullet nose and dished end.

SPECIFICATIONS

PolyEurope poly foam pigs are industrial pipeline and municipal water main cleaners and product recovery devices. The basic design consists of a flexible, bullet shaped polyurethane foam cylinder. The rear end of the PolyEurope poly foam pig is concave in order to allow more pressure to be exerted and create a tighter seal against the pipe wall. This helps to prevent “by-pass” of the propelling agent (water, air or product) and virtually eliminates product contamination.

Overall length of PolyEurope poly foam pigs (Red and Scarlet Series) are approx 2 times the diameter of the pipeline and oversize of the bare pigs varies between 0.25”and 0.75” depending on size of pig and pipe grade.

PIPELINE PROBLEMS ?

Fast, safe and economical restoration of flow and pressure within pipelines and tubular systems by the use of versatile PolyEurope poly foam pigs to remove unwanted “ build-ups” causing restriction of the pipe’s internal diameter.

FAST

• Excavations kept to a minimum, PolyEurope poly foam pigs can clean long distances in a single run, without the need for numerous cut-ins that other cleaning systems require.
• PolyEurope poly foam pigs can clean lines, traveling at speeds up to 3 meter per second.

SAFE

• Contract work or technical supervision is carried out in compliance with Government regulations.
• Progressive PolyEurope cleaning technique used, ensures that there is virtually no chance of a PolyEurope poly foam pig become plugged.
• Low pressures for propulsion of PolyEurope poly foam pigs.

ECONOMICAL

• Very short downtime.
• Relative low cost of PolyEurope poly foam pigs.
• No overtime, weekend, or surcharges.
• Little or no disruption to normal production process since time taken is a fraction of all other cleaning methods eg.Water jetting, rodding, chemical etc.
• Occasional cleaning prolongs the working life-span of pipes.
• Cost of water main and supply line cleaning can be reduced by up to 80% mainly as a result of the reduced number of “ cut-ins”.

ENERGY SAVINGS

Approximately 20% of the energy requirements in the industries at present are wasted. It is common knowledge to pipe work designers and hydraulic engineers that if the “C” value of any fluid line drops from 140 (new pipe) down to 70 (restricted pipe), almost four times, as much horsepower for pumped fluid will be required to maintain the same flow. Periodic pipeline cleaning can help your company reduce its overheads by lowering pumping costs and reducing wear and tear on pump motors.

Unlike most new innovations which always appear prone to teething troubles, PolyEurope poly foam pigs have had over decades of experience through trials, modifications and improvements worldwide the best engineered poly foam pig.
PolyEurope poly foam pigs are now extensively used worldwide as the most economical method for all types of pipe cleaning.

If product wastage, lost production time, or local authority bills for illegal discharge of trade effluents, are reducing your company’s profits, PolyEurope poly foam pig can help!

BACKGROUND

Prior to the use of PolyEurope poly foam pigs in the process industries, removal of residual product from transfer tubes was a long, tedious and expensive operation.The principal methods and their associated problems may be summarized;

METHOD

A) Blow down, using compressed air.
B) Manual brushing.
C) Flushing with water or solvent.

DISADVANTAGES

Method A most of the product still remaining adhered to the pipe wall and method B or C had to be used also. Pipe work had to be dismantled to accomplish this task, involving many man-hours and substantial lost of production time. Time consuming and due to the mixing of product with water or solvent, the residue was diluted beyond use and subsequently dumped into rivers, sewages or drainage systems. In certain industries, this waste would create BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), leading to problems with Water Authorities, River Purification Boards, Environmentalist Groups, etc. By contrast, industries which have made a small investment by using PolyEurope poly foam pigs, not only operate far more efficiently than their competitors, but can also save thousands of Euros each year.
