Solutions for Pipeline Pigging and Flow Assurance

PE Solutions, a division of Pipeline Engineering,

provides a range of project management and
engineering consultancy services for pipeline
pigging and flow assurance.

Pipeline Engineerings pipeline pigging and flow

assurance expertise, combined with PE Solutions
project management and engineering consultancy
services, enables us to offer specialist pigging and
flow assurance services to oil, gas and process
industries around the world.
Refinery Pipework

PE Solutions develops unique solutions for specific

pipeline pigging and flow assurance requirements
using specially developed and built cleaning pigs and
expertise in production cleaning.

PE Solutions manages a wide range of pipeline

cleaning projects at all stages of a pipelines
operational life.

Pig Retrieval and Inspection


Special Pigs
Specially built pigs to meet the exact requirements
of individual pipelines
Pipeline Engineering is recognised worldwide
for its range of pipeline pigs which includes
foam pigs, mandrel pigs, solid polyurethane
pigs and spheres. Engineering expertise in
PE Solutions enables us to design and build
Special Pigs to meet the exact requirements
of individual pipelines. This is achieved
through detailed analysis of the issues,
bespoke design and prototyping and final
production of pigs to provide the solution.
Computer Aided Design
State of the art CAD design capability
allows PE Solutions to develop
special pig designs.
Prototyping & Trialling
Prototype pigs are tested in our purpose built
test loops to allow further refinement to
enhance performance.
Special Pig Design, Testing and Production
Special Pigs Assembly / Manufacturing
Based on proving trials, designs are transferred to our
computer aided manufacturing system for manufacture and
assembly. Quality components are utilised throughout,
including our own Omnithane polyurethanes, specifically
developed for the pipeline pigging industry.
Special Pig designs include:
> Bi-directional and uni-directional pigs
> Special requirement cleaning pigs
> De-waxing pigs
> Jetting pigs for the removal of large amounts
of material with minimum redeposition
> Gauge pigs
> High friction pigs
> Special design foam pigs
> Dual module articulated pigs
> Multi-diameter pigs
> Solo sealing pigs for low pressure isolation
> Welding pigs for pipeline construction
> Caliper pigs for the mapping of pipeline features
> Low flow pigs
Deployment & Retrieval Services
At PE Solutions we have a specialist team who will manage or
carry out pig deployment or retrieval services worldwide.

Production Cleaning

Expertise in pipeline cleaning methods

to enhance product flow

Debris and deposits in a pipeline will increase turbulence in

product flow, increase friction and decrease capacity. Expertise
in Special Cleaning Pigs enables PE Solutions to meet the
requirements of different pipeline environments.

Project Management
The PE Solutions Project Management team plans and implements
programmes to maximise pipeline flow. This team undertakes
projects such as:

> Surveying pipeline conditions such as ovality,

Project Analysis and Consultation
ingressions, features, welds and corrosion

> Designing and deploying pig trains for a change in

pipeline fluid, eg. oil to gas

> Engineering of cleaning pigs required to traverse complex

pipeline features such as short radius bends, Ys/Ts, valves
and multi-diameter pipelines

> Leak testing of critical connections both subsea and

topside

> Progressive cleaning of pipelines including heavily waxed

and scaled lines

> Hydrotesting of pipelines Special Pig Retrieval

> Drying of pipelines

> In line inspection

Engineering Consultancy

Engineering knowledge to support

pipeline infrastructure

PE Solutions provides advice and support regarding engineering

apparatus and accessories for pipelines, fabrication capability,
deployment of mechanical engineering systems and design
improvements for existing equipment. Consultancy and support
services also include:

Progressive Cleaning / Flow Assurance Programmes

Practical experience and combined knowledge enables us to offer
advice on a range of flow assurance issues. Where hydrates, wax,
scale, asphalteness and other solid deposits have become an issue,
PE Solutions can investigate, remediate and keep production
systems operating. Consultancy Support Services

Validation of Pigging Campaigns

A team of engineers to improve and endorse pigging campaigns.

Caliper Surveys
Extensive experience of running caliper surveys to provide
information about pipeline defects and condition.

Training Solutions
Training is geared towards enhancing understanding of pigging
Caliper Surveying Services
technology and working closely with clients regarding specific
pigging and flow assurance applications. Training schedules are
prepared for specific client requirements. Field based and office
based training is available for technical and commercial personnel.
