FMC's first piggable system was developed in 1975. Since then, an extensive range of innovative piggable products has been designed and developed in close collaboration with users from the chemical and oil and gas industries. The closed piggable systems technology is used at plants, jetties and transhipment terminals for all loading and unloading needs. The system, proven worldwide, reduces both space requirements and operating costs.
FMC's closed pigging systems technology provides an appealing, economic alternative to the increasing problem of product diversity on a site. It is designed for processing facilities that have to use the common pipe or line to transfer different products. To avoid cross contamination of ingredients or final products, these shared systems must be flushed or cleaned before other ingredients can travel the same path.
FMC's piggable systems are the perfect alternative to thoroughly clean out the line. Since all products travel through a single pipe, the need to invest in additional processing lines is removed.
The impact of piggable equipment is measured both in terms of production costs reduction and improvement of the production tool's performance, which in turn translates into a fast return on investment.
FMC's complete range of piggable products covers all the various needs corresponding to each stage of the industrial process - from the unloading of the raw material to the conditioning of finished products.
Highly qualified experts provide you with the optimal piggable solution to meet your operating conditions and your process requirements, from the simplest manual system to the fully automatic package for hazardous or secured areas.
FMC offers a comprehensive range of services to ensure optimum installation and exploitation of its piggable systems as well as the long-term satisfaction of its customers.
