The Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management Conference (PPIM) has become one of the most important gatherings for pipeline operators, integrity engineers, inspection specialists, regulatory professionals, and technology providers responsible for maintaining the safety and reliability [...]
Pipeline pigging equipment refers to the tools and components used to clean, inspect, and maintain pipelines by moving devices called pigs through the pipeline. These systems are essential for removing debris, separating products, and preparing [...]
The benefits of pipeline pigging include improved flow efficiency, reduced operational costs, enhanced safety, and better pipeline integrity. The pipeline pigging process removes debris, separates products, and prepares pipelines for inspection, making it a critical [...]
When pigging pipeline operations are done incorrectly, the consequences can include reduced flow efficiency, increased corrosion, equipment damage, and even pipeline failure. Effective pipeline cleaning is critical to maintaining safe and efficient operations, especially in [...]
Intelligent pigging improves pipeline performance by providing real-time data on pipeline conditions while cleaning and maintaining flow efficiency. Unlike conventional pigging, which focuses primarily on debris removal, intelligent pigging combines cleaning with advanced diagnostics to [...]
The terms urethane vs polyurethane are often used interchangeably in pipeline pigging, but they are not exactly the same. In simple terms, urethane refers to a chemical compound, while polyurethane is a polymer made from [...]
Pipeline pigs are essential tools used to clean, inspect, and maintain pipelines without interrupting flow. In industries like pigging oil and gas, these devices travel through pipelines to remove debris, separate products, and ensure operational [...]
HOUSTON, TX – January 5, 2026 – Inline Services, LLC, a key division of Critical Infrastructure Holdings, will exhibit at the 2026 Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management (PPIM) Conference and Exhibition from January 20-22, [...]
Removing a pig from a launcher or receiver may seem like a small moment in a pipeline operation, but anyone who has actually done the work knows otherwise. Pig retrieval requires control, reach, and the [...]
Pipeline maintenance depends on tools that can handle tough environments, adapt to different challenges, and deliver consistent performance. Among these, steel mandrel pigs have become indispensable for operators who demand durability, versatility, and reliability across [...]
