Pigging System
Pig Launcher and Receiver
Pipeline operators need pigging equipment that fits the pipeline diameter, pressure class, station layout, closure type and operating procedure without forcing late design changes.
What this equipment supports
A pig launcher and receiver provides the station interface for inserting and receiving cleaning, batching or inspection pigs. The first RFQ review should confirm pipeline size, design pressure, pig type, nozzle orientation, drain and vent requirements, and whether a quick opening closure is required.
Configuration review
Pressure rating, material, closure model, valves, instruments and skid scope are reviewed from project drawings, quotation requirements and the final technical agreement.
Technical data needed for quotation
The table lists the technical inputs needed for a useful quotation discussion. Specific pressure, material, model and dimensional values should be confirmed from drawings, project documents or approved reference data.
| Pipeline data | Pipeline size, wall thickness, pressure class, pig type and pig length if already defined. |
|---|---|
| Station arrangement | Launcher, receiver or combined package, horizontal/vertical layout and access side. |
| Nozzle and connection | Inlet/outlet connection standard, drain, vent, instrument and lifting requirements. |
| Closure review | Quick opening closure direction, locking preference and safety interlock expectations. |
| Project boundary | Destination country, documentation language, drawings and applicable project standards. |
Configuration and options review
Scope boundary
Confirm whether the quotation should cover a standalone component, vessel package, skid package, spare elements or documentation support.
Interface and layout
Check pipeline or vessel connection, nozzle orientation, maintenance access, lifting space, drain and vent arrangement before locking the layout.
Standards and acceptance
Define required project standards, inspection expectations, documentation language and acceptance basis before the final technical agreement.
Reference visual set
Real-scene reference visuals show station context and related equipment options for early inquiry discussions.

Common procurement questions
What information is needed before quoting a pig launcher or receiver?
Share pipeline size, pressure class, pig type, station layout, connection standard, drain and vent requirements, and destination country.
Can the quick opening closure be included with the pigging package?
Yes, closure preference can be reviewed together with the launcher or receiver package when drawings and operating requirements are available.
Is a launcher, receiver or combined package the right choice?
That depends on the station function, pigging procedure, available space and whether cleaning, batching or inspection pigs will be used.
