Pigging Pig- Cavitation Cleaning

Using fluid dynamics science, our specialized “pigs” generate 800-1,000 MPa micro-jets to dislodge even 150mm-thick scale in oil/gas/ash pipelines. Cleans complex networks (DN40-1000) at 10 km/h, preserves pipe integrity, and eliminates chemical waste.

Description

EMT Cavitation Jet Pigging Pig

Ⅰ. Revolutionizing Pipeline Maintenance with Fluid Dynamics

Our cavitation jet pigging technology leverages the scientifically proven “cavitation effect” to remove even the most hardened deposits (up to 150mm thick) without damaging pipe integrity. Unlike conventional pigs, this advanced system combines high-frequency blade vibration with micro-jet implosions (800-1,000 MPa) to disintegrate scale at the molecular level – a breakthrough validated across 10,000+ km of oil, gas, and ash pipelines since 2004.

Ⅲ. Core Technical Advantages of Pigging Pig

1. Oil & Gas Transmission Lines

  • Problem: Paraffin/Asphaltene buildup reducing throughput by 40%
  • Our Pig: 3Z Turbofoil blades + 20# steel construction
  • Case Result: Changqing Oilfield DN150 injector line restored to 99.6% ID in 6 hours

2. Power Plant Ash Slurry Pipelines

  • Problem: Cement-like carbonate scale (150mm thick) causing blockages
  • Our Pig: 3H Annular vortex generators + Q235A abrasion-resistant alloy
  • Case Result: Benxi Steel 6km DN325 line cleared in 48 hours (post-failure salvage)

3. Chemical Process Lines

  • Problem: Salt crystallization in brine pipes requiring monthly shutdowns
  • Our Pig: XD Custom configuration with reduced cavitation intensity
  • Case Result: Yizheng Chemical Fibre zero coating damage after cleaning

Ⅳ. Applications of Cavitation Jet Pigging Pig

▼ Critical Use Cases

  • Oil/Gas Pipelines: Removes paraffin, asphaltenes, and hydrate blockages
  • Ash Slurry Lines: Eradicates cement-like carbonate scale (up to 60% ID reduction)
  • Chemical Brine Pipelines: Cleans salt crystallization without corrosion

▼ Operational Benefits

  • 85% reduction in unplanned downtime (Shanghai Wujing Power Plant report)
  • 37% lower maintenance costs vs. chemical cleaning
  • Zero environmental permits required (physical process only)

Manufacturer-Direct Quality

  • Material traceability: PMI reports for all wetted parts
  • NACE TM0177 validated electrode lifespan (3+ years)
  • 24-month warranty with emergency field support
