Technical Advantages
Pipeline cleaning with a HAPP™ offers the following technical advantages:
Pipeline operations: |
- Pipeline operation can continue while pigging.
|
Cleaning effectiveness: |
- The adjustable and controlled travel speed allows extraordinary pigging effectiveness: with only one single cleaning run the pipeline is 100% clean!
- Deposit removal even out of pits.
- Freeing of captured water stops pitting corrosion.
- Various cleaning heads are available for removal of all kind of deposits.
- The local pressure difference across HAPP™ can be transformed in any kind of cleaning energy (brush, high pressure fluid jets, rotating, etc.).
|
Debris removal: |
- Removed debris is constantly flushed downstream by the fluid flow through the pipeline and the HAPP™.
|
Pipeline geometry: |
- No limits in operation reach.
- The HAPP™ construction allows negotiation of T-fittings, steps, deformed pipe ID, welding lines, elbows, etc.
|
Safety: |
- No conventional pig blocking due to built up of debris plug in front of it.
