Ice Pigging™
If you’re wondering, “How does Ice Pigging™ work?” we will briefly explain. Ice Pigging™ is an award-winning, innovative, sustainable, advanced pipeline cleaning technology to improve water quality and aid asset management. An ice pig is a semi-solid material made from water and table salt that is pumped through a pipeline to completely clear debris, biofilms, fat, oil, grease, and more. This cleaning method can work 1,000 times more effectively than unidirectional flushing, and can generally clean more pipelines daily than jetting and air scouring. This innovative approach can save pipeline companies time and money while boosting cleanliness metrics.
