 MeridianTM Pigs
The Economical Pigging Program

The importance of a pigging operation:

Production pipelines are at high risk of internal corrosion and failure due to the build up of corrosive
deposits. Inevitably, these deposits lead to accelerated localized corrosion and premature failure
(down time, high cost of repair and environmental damage and clean-up). This risk can be
substantially reduced with the implementation of an aggressive pigging program.

The consequences of a pipeline corrosion failure make a customized pigging program a very
attractive and cost effective necessity.

One-Piece Molded Pigs:

Made of urethane, these pigs are durable and manufactured

in a variety of standard or customized styles, and can be used
for:

• Liquid removal and general cleaning

• Removal of medium to hard wax deposits,
asphaltines or sand
• Chemical batch inhibitor application
• Negotiating side-branch laterals, long radius bends and
Bridging valves
• Varying pipe diameters

Spherical Pigs:

Commonly called pig balls,

these are less effective for
pipeline cleaning, but can be
used for:

• Liquid displacement
• Hydrostatic testing

For more detailed information on pig styles

for specific applications, contact the
Meridian Technical Sales department.
