Applications: Industrial Pipe Cleaning

Ice Pigging for industrial applications

Ice Pigging is a highly efficient line cleaning and product recovery technique. Ice slurry is pushed through production pipelines to clean and recover product.

Ice Pigging is capable of navigating complex pipework which may incorporate changes in pipe diameter, bends, valve systems, heat exchangers and other obstructions with no risk of becoming stuck.

The ice slurry is composed of fine ice crystals and a freezing point depressant used to control the structure of the slurry and to prevent it from forming large crystals.
Using an additive keeps the ice in a mobile state, allowing for navigation through complex pipework.

 

 

Ice Pigging can be used in many industrial processes

The Ice Pigging process is highly flexible, making it suited to a diverse range of products within a number of industries.

 

the benefits of ice pigging

  • Ice Pigging is a safe, fast and highly effective pipe cleaning system.
  • The Ice Slush generated flows as a liquid with some of the properties of a solid, allowing it to flow through diameter changes, pumps, mixers etc.
  • Depending on the process up to 1000 times more effective than water flushing.
  • Significant savings in effluent treatment.
  • Reduction in Energy use and Chemicals (in many applications) due to reductions in hot water cleans and clean in place (CIP).
  • Where product/materials recovery is required Ice Pigging can recover up to 90%.
  • Can be used as a fully integrated automatic system or run in manual operation.
  • The system is versatile, the standalone unit can also support more remote operations by using a mobile ice slush delivery rig.

 

Paint line before and after Ice Pigging

 

In the video below there is a comparison between Ice Pigging and water flushing on a pipeline containing a viscous product. The top pipe is being cleaned with Ice Pigging which results in a faster and more efficient clean whereas the bottom pipe is being cleaned with water flushing, leaving traces of the product and resulting in a large amount of mixing.

 

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Step 1

Initial feasibility assessment

  • Customer specific paper-based study of potential benefits.
  • Site survey to capture physical layout of key plant infrastructure.
  • Understand current line processes and cleaning methods.
  • Equipment available for product / process trials.

Step 2

Ice Pigging system specification

  • Selection of suitable Ice Pig additive.
  • Customisation of ice quality to suit product and process.
  • Component specification to suit plant operating conditions.
  • Determine appropriate hygiene requirements.

Step 3

Installation proposals

  • Detailed proposal of required equipment.
  • Factory integration plan:
    • Ice Pig injection locations
    • Process line modifications
    • Ice Pig distribution to required lines
    • Factory - machine communication

Step 4

Commissioning of Ice Pigging process

  • Installation of ice production plant.
  • Verification of machine - factory interfaces.
  • Optimisation of process to achieve maximum benefit.
  • Operator training.

Step 5

Support

  • Remote support for diagnosis and health checks.
  • Onsite Ice Pigging plant service support.
  • Ice Pigging optimisation following factory changes.
  • Expansion of Ice Pigging application.
