Pigging is essential for pipelines. Pigging is needed in all the pipelines life stages, during construction, During Operation, and for inline inspection. Pigs can do cleaning to remove depress and other remains after pipe construction to be ready for service. During operation pipeline cleaning to remove wax and black powder will improve the pipeline performance and reduce pumping power. Pigging is used for inline inspection where the present condition of the pipeline can be measured and monitored using recent techniques like MLF and Ultrasonic tools. This will help collecting data for pipeline assessment. This five days course will discuss different aspects of pipeline pigging and its different applications for the pipelines.

Objective
  1. Delegates will learn about different types and designs of pigs. 
  2. Delegates will learn different applications of pigs for liquid and gas pipeline 
  3. Delegates will learn about the pipeline degradation mechanisms and types of failure
  4. Delegates will learn the fitness-for-service assessment techniques
Audience

Engineers and Technicians involves in pipeline construction, maintenance and operation.
