Launcher Receivers

Launcher receivers are critical components in the pipeline maintenance processes of the oil and gas industry. They are essential for maintaining the optimal flow and ensuring uninterrupted operations. A crucial maintenance procedure called pigging enables pipeline cleaning and inspection without interrupting the flow. The pig is introduced into the pipeline by the launcher section and retrieved by the receiver section. The efficiency of the pipeline is maintained during operation by the pipe systems installed in these sections, which neutralize pressure.

Pigs used in these operations are categorized as utility pigs, inspection pigs, gel pigs, sealing pigs, specialty pigs, and more, and they serve a variety of functions. Launcher receivers must adhere to construction codes to control system pressure and satisfy strict safety requirements.
