There are two types of Pigging systems DMV for low germ processes and SMV for insensitive media.
The SMV pendulum pigging systems are based on the use of static pigs which are driven by a pushing medium (product, water, air) and move back and forth between the pig launching and receiving station, thereby eliminating the remaining product from the pipe. SMV pendulum pigs are statically sealing by means of a defined oversize between the pig outside diameter and pipe inside diameter. The components used in SMV pendulum pigging systems are essential to high operating safety. The use of ball valves with minimized dead pockets is standard in view of maximum process safety. As an option, static pigs are equipped with a magnet for location and control and can be cleaned in the closed system without removing it. SMV Pigs are bi directional.
