Cleanliness of Pipe line

To ensure the pipeline is clean form any debris before and after construction period at
LNG Project, the following stages shall follow:

The pipes will be covered by plugs at each end so we can ensure there is no dirt ingress during
the transportation period.

Storage stage: to minimize the debris and dust getting inside the clean pipe, both ends will be
closed by suitable cover.

Continuous cleaning and removal of rust and debris after cutting and welding process will be carried
out.

After the completion of construction work, pigging for the main lines are required in order to make
sure that the pipeline is debris and dust free.

Pigging Stage:

A "pig" in the pipeline industry is a tool that is sent down a pipeline and propelled by
the pressure of the product flow in the pipeline itself.

Pigging systems are designed so that the pig is loaded into pig launcher, the launcher is
connected to an air vessel that contain huge amount of air at high pressure, which is allow to
launch the pig into the pipeline through a kicker line. The pig will be removed from the pipeline via
the receiver at the end of each run. All systems must allow for the receipt of pigs at the launcher,
as blockages in the pipeline may require the pigs to be pushed back to the launcher.

Pig type :

Foam pigs: are molded from polyurethane foam with various configurations of solid polyurethane
strips and/or abrasive materials permanently bonded to them; Foam pigs are an inexpensive and
versatile type of pipeline cleaning device. They are used for drying, cleaning, batching, and
product removal operations in the oil and gas, municipality, food and beverage, mining, chemical
and petrochemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as they are lightweight and flexible.
Foam pigs are able to negotiate uncommon piping, fittings, and valves. Standard sizes range
from 2" to 60", with industry-standard densities of foam ranging from 2-pound, 5-pound, and 8-
pound per cubic foot. Common configurations include bare, criss-cross, wire brush, plastic
bristle, and silicon carbide. With various design options such as double-dish, double-nose,
special coating patterns (single-spiral, turning pattern, totally coated, etc.), various lengths and
diameters, pulling/handling ropes or cables, bypass jets, transmitter cavities.

 1. Pigging quality requirements

Control valve, orifice plate, flow meter elements, safety valve, and permanent in-line blinds shall
be removed before starting the blowing activity.
Certain criteria is considered when selecting the proper pig for a pipeline, firstly it's important to
define what task the pig will be performing, also size and operating conditions are important to
regard, finally, pipeline layout is paramount when considering the type of pig, because every
pipeline is different. There are no codes of practice for pigging a line, although the quantity of
debris collected in a pipeline and the amount of wear and tear on it can increase the frequency of
pigging, so we shall use foam pigs.
The checking pipeline cleanliness will be carried out by air being blown in to the line by butting a
fixed white target and releasing the pressurised air, this is then observed to determine if any
particles of rust, slag or debris were omitted, the process will be repeated until no particles are
evident on the white target.

The attached P&ID highlighting the pigging operation, will be separated in two areas, the first one
will be after the 24 header up to the process area which is 320m, the second one from the check
valve up to the JPTG tie-in point which is 480m, the remaining sections which are not included in
the pigging process will be blown through using compressed air.
