    This course will provide participants with the knowledge necessary to understand the operation of cleaning pipelines, how the process works, the maintenance required, and how to collect pipeline integrity data.

    The purpose of the course will be to develop in participants a working knowledge of how to clean a pipeline by inserting a cleaning device, commonly known as a pig, at one end of the pipeline and allowing pipeline pressure to carry it to the other end. Participants will gain an understanding of the cleaning process as the pig travels through the pipe and scrapes the inner walls of the pipe to remove any buildup of unwanted material.

    Attendees will also learn about the different types of pigs available for the various process applications. Smart pigs, which are highly sophisticated instruments that include electronics to collect various forms of data during their trip through the pipeline, will be discussed along with the associated hardware that must be maintained.

    This course is mainly targeted to process operators, process technologists, and laboratory and maintenance personnel. The course can also be applicable to employees working with equipment and materials purchasing, equipment procurement, job planning, and immediate supervisors to the working technicians.

    Participants should have some recent exposure to oil and gas pigging terminology and activities.
