Midstream Operator Increased Operational Efficiency While Decreasing Risks & Reducing Opex in Pigging Operations
3 PagesThis case study demonstrates how a midstream pipeline operator improved pigging efficiency by deploying an acoustic pig detection system to monitor pig movement and debris accumulation in real time. The non-intrusive solution accurately distinguished debris clouds from pig passage events, enabling operators to assess cleaning effectiveness, reduce unnecessary pigging runs, minimize the risk of stuck pigs, lower operating costs, and improve pipeline maintenance. Fast installation, seamless integration with existing control systems, and continuous monitoring enhanced operational visibility, reduced risk, and supported more efficient pipeline cleaning programs.
