What is a pig launcher / receiver
Pig launcher/ receiver are integral parts of a Pipeline. They allow to safely inspect and assess the status of a pipeline in terms of corrosion and scaling, without heavy impact of normal pipeline operations.
Mento designs and supplies pig launchers and receivers as a single equipment or as a skid system,
complete with valves and instrumentation.
An essential component for pipeline maintenance and inline inspection (ILI), pig launchers send pigs, spheres, and ILI tools into the pipeline, where upstream pressure pushes them through to a receiver.
Mento conventional pig launchers and receivers are designed to meet the pigging requirements of pipeline owners and operators worldwide.
Made for pipelines from 6 inches through 42 inches. They include standard features such as quick opening closures and oversized barrels that ease loading. Can accommodate longer length ILI tools.
Each conventional launcher and receiver can also be customized to meet product type, pigging purpose, and pipeline design considerations.
Mento also offers complete pig launching and receiving systems, with all components assembled, tested, and skid-mounted for efficient field installation.
Design Codes:
EN13445, ASME, Norsok, TR2000.

Pig valves
Designed to permit simple and quick launching and receiving of pipe pigs and scrapers, the advantage of Pig Valves in comparison with conventional pig traps lies in simple operation and pipe runs as well as reduced space requirements through short overall lengths.
