Pig Diverters

There are two types of Pig Diverters - Sealing and Non Sealing

The Non Sealing Pig Diverter will divert a pig into the pipeline requiring pigging without restricting the flow into the pipeline not requiring pigging. The process is used on multiple pipelines sharing one set of pig traps and on pipeline loops.

The Sealing Pig Diverter is used when the flow is to be limited to the line being pigged. This requires the dead line to be sealed from the flow. This process is adaptable in tank farms where the lines are purged oPigswitchf product using air or nitrogen each time a tank is filled or emptied. Bi-directional pigs are required for this process.

Both types of diverters will accomodate pigs that will travel through a long radius weldell (3R). However, steel bodied pigs are not recommended because of possible damage as a result of runaway pigs. The Sealing diverter will not switch from one side to the other without a zero pressure drop from the live line to the dead line.

Both types of Diverter can be automated for remote operation and all Diverters are customized to the application. This includes in and out configurations such as forks, T's Y's and various combinations. In addition vents, drains and pig indicators can be installed on the Diverter.
