LiquiGel®
The "Unstickable" Gel Pig Technology
LiquiGel® pigs are reliable and superior alternatives for pipeline and process operators. Our “unstickable” pig gel technology demonstrates safe performance when measured against pipeline integrity concerns, or where multi-diameter, barriers to entry and exit, and multi-stage pigging challenges exists. LiquiGel® pigs can maintain excellent temperature and pressure stability over a wide range.
LiquiGel® Uses
Mapping Internal Pipeline Geometry
Locating Pipeline Restrictions
De-watering
De-oiling
Pipeline Cleaning
Advanced Gel Technology Ideal for Maintenance & Pre-Commissioning
Our advanced gel technology options include environmentally safe, mechanical pig replacements and fully-compatible varieties that are used in a wide array of both maintenance and pre-commissioning activities described below. We have ready-to-pump solutions as well as concentrate blended on-site with suitable diluents.
Our pipeline, process, and production optimization services provide flow and integrity assurance from the reservoir to the refinery. BlueFin is focused on the highest standards of employee safety and training in all environments, on and off the job. Contact us to learn more about our LiquiGel® pigs.
Advantages of LiquiGel® Pigs
Pig launching/receiving devices unnecessary
Clean fluid separation through batching
Large debris cleanout, improved solids carrying capacity
Prevent seawater ingress
Can be made in Liquid and/or Solid form, tailored formulations for application
Wide range of chemical compatibility
Used as spacer, isolation mechanism, prevents dilution of treatment pills
Can be driven with natural gas, nitrogen, or air
Unstickable, shape adaptation
Can be made with food grade products
