Pipeline Pig Detectors

Hyperfore pipeline pig detector or detection unit is an automatic device to precisely detect the positon of a pig during the pigging process.Its primary goal is to mitigate the risk of pipeline blockage and ensure the smooth operation of a pigging system.

Detailed Technical Data of Hyperfore Pig Detectors

Introduction

Pig tracking include various methods to monitor the movement of pipeline pigs within liquid processing systems. The most basic method is visual tracking, where an operator can observe the pig’s physical location.

Hyperfore magnetic pig detectors or detection units are installed externally on the pigging system pipelines. The primary goal is to monitor and ensure the pigging process success. By sensing the magnetic field of the pig, the LED indicator will glow. The pig detector will send a 24DC PNP signal to PLC/DCS system，providing the operator with realtime and visual confirmation that the pig has already reached its target location.

Introduction

Pig detectors are important components of a pigging system. Their main function is for pig detection or pig tracking. Hyperfore pig detectors are positioned on the launching station and receiving station,or near piggable valves and the intermediate stopper.

Hyperfore pig detector (or detection unit) is efficient, solid device for precisely confirming the presence of a pipeline pig, the detection range extends up to about 100 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
The difference of the two types of detectors lies in the contact of the flow.

An In-trusive pipeline pig detector is a probe enters the pipeline flow. It is physically contacted by the pig. A non-intrusive pipeline pig like Hyperfore pig detector is clamped externally to the pipe.

Pig tracking in a liquid transfer pipeline is a process that monitors wether the pipeline pig has reached its targeted positon.

Within an operating pigging system, a pig tracker is typically installed externally on the process pipeline. When it senses the magnetic field of the pig, it triggers simutaneously the LED indicator and sends feedback to PLC/DCS system, thus the operator can visually confirm the exact location of the pig.

A pipeline pig tracker is a key device that is utilized in a pigging system. Its function is to locate the precise position of a pipeline pig, guaranteeing the smooth passage of the pig through the pipe and ensuring safe and seamless operation of the liquid transfer pipeline.
Hyperfore pipeline pig sensor is installed externally on the process pipeline. Selecting Location: The detector must be placed over the pipeline at a point where you need to confirm pig passage. Pipeline Preparation: The exterior surface of the pipe where the sensor will be mounted must be clean, free of heavy scale. Assemble Clamp: The sensor uses a separate mounting clamp, assemble it directly onto the pipeline.
Mitigating pig blockage involves several approaches:
Design: The pipe design should be pig-friendly, the pipe fitting include 3D bends, piggable tees, full-bore valves.
Welding: The welding of the pipe must be of high quality, no internally intrusive objects.  
Pig speed: Maintain controlled pig speed and constant propellant pressure.
Tracking: Continuously track the pig using detectors and allowing immediate adjustment to prevent a stuck pig.
