Fabrication of pig launchers and pig receivers forms a major partof our pressure vessel supply services.

In-house design, engineering, manufacturing and testing capability isused to fabricate bespoke pig and sphere launching and receivingsystems. This ranges from simple barrel launchers and receiversthrough to complete skid mounted units with associated equipment,including actuated valves, instrumentation, pig signallers and controlsystems.

The pig launchers and receivers we fabricate are used subsea, offshoreand onshore. They are designed and manufactured to relevant pipelineand vessel design codes, including ASME U Stamp Division 1 & 2where applicable.

We produce launchers and receivers from 2” to 60” designed withoperating pressures up to 400 bar. Launchers and receivers areproduced in a range of materials, from low strength carbon steel, tohigh strength carbon steel, and where specified, stainless steel, duplexstainless steel and carbon steel internally clad with corrosion resistantinconel materials.

PE also provide an Automatic Multiple Pig Launching System (AMPL)for use on unmanned or remote locations, onshore, offshore andsubsea.

Pipeline Engineering has the expertise and capability to designand produce all types of pig launching and receiving systems.

The closure system is a key part of a pressure vessel. PE’s rapid openingclosure (ROC) is an ASME VIII Div 1 compliant pressure retainingcomponent positioned on pipelines and pressure vessels to provide afast and safe access mechanism.

Designed and manufactured by our closures team, the ROC closure is an ideal access mechanismfor the full range of industry pipeline sizes. Specialist engineering design and build capabilitymeans we can produce closures for pipelines up to 60”.

Features of ROC:

> Quick to open or close in just 30 seconds - two simple movements, removal of vent plugand the 25º turn of the handle is all that is required to rapidly release the closure

> Available for horizontal, vertical, inclined or declined mounting

> Safe – built to meet all the international codes including the specific requirementsof ASME VIII Div 1 UG35 and key operator specifications. Up to three levels ofsafety interlock to avoid opening under pressure

> Full 270º swing on the door hinge

> The hinge is simply adjusted for height/reach

> A simple and easily changed seal on most sizes making maintenance easy

> Bespoke designs available in all material specifications

Using the latest CAD/CAM in our purpose built CNC Machine Shop enables us to efficiently producesignificant quantities of closures to short lead times.

Thousands of PE’s Rapid Opening Closures have been fitted to pipelines globally.It is one of the most widely used pipeline access systems in the world.

PE’s range of intrusive and non-intrusive pig signallers are trackinginstruments fitted to pig launcher and receiver stations to confirm thelaunch or arrival of a pig. They can also be fitted at any location on apipeline and will detect the passage of all types of pipeline pigs.

Our intrusive Pig Signaller uses a unique magnetic system to reduce theamount of moving parts; it therefore eliminates the risk of leakage,reduces maintenance costs and is easy to fit to pipelines.

Our non-intrusive Pig Signaller is a computerised electronic device thatallows the detection of pipeline pigs that have been fitted with either apermanent magnet or magnetic transmitter.

PE Pig Signallers:

> Suitable for flange or boss mounted applications

> Suitable for pipe sizes from 2” upwards

> Designed for pressures up to and including Class 2500

> Do not contain dynamic seals therefore preventing leakage issues

> Can be specified to be removable under full line pressure

> Easy to operate

> Minimal maintenance required

PE pig signallers are in operation on pipelines throughout the world.
