Debris Removal

Gel technology is very versatile and can be applied anytime during the lifetime of a field from helping to remove hydrotest fluids when commissioning to the bulk removal of hydrocarbons and solids prior to maintenance or when preparing a pipeline for responsible decommissioning.

Aqualift Gel is a non-crosslinked, water-based gel with carefully tailored rheology. Its highly thixotropic behavior provides very high viscosity at low shear, making it exceptional at suspending captured debris. A lower-viscosity version is also available for narrower lines.

Aqualube Gel is a blend of natural polysaccharides in aqueous solution with lubricating properties. It will reduce the friction on a mechanical pig by half on average. A lower-viscosity version is also available for narrower lines.

AquaSurf Gel is a non-crosslinked water-based gel containing deoiling surfactants. Aquasurf Gel is an excellent combination product for deoiling pipelines where the oil in water requirement is less stringent and avoids having to pump several chemicals in sequence.

Aquazyme Breaker is an enzyme based chemical breaker for Aqualift Gel and Aqualink Gel. Aquazyme Breaker attacks the polymers that form the gel chopping them into very small pieces which kills the viscosity of the gel.

Atlas Pig is a highly flexible gel pig with shape memory used in situations where a mechanical pig cannot be applied. It is also capable of withstanding pressures up to 600 barg for up to 72 hours. This allows Atlas Pig to be installed during pre-commissioning.

Atlas Pig HTD is a highly flexible gel pig with shape memory, capable of withstanding pressures up to 600 barg for up to 72 hours. Storage up to 55°C, maximum working temperature 75°C.

Atlas Pig HTD is a highly flexible gel pig with shape memory and added trace dye for improved visibility, capable of withstanding pressures up to 600 barg for up to 72 hours. Designed for use at higher ambient temperatures up to 55°C.

Glycolube D is a linear gel made from a blend of natural polysaccharides in a Monoethylene Glycol solution with lubricating properties and added trace dye to make gel visible at point of discharge. It will reduce the friction on a mechanical pig by half on average.

Glycolube Gel is a linear gel made from a blend of natural polysaccharides in a Monoethylene Glycol solution with lubricating properties. It will reduce the friction on a mechanical pig by half on average.

Hydro Gel Pig is a pipeline pig made from a mixture of gelatine and water. Having a melting point of around 25°C it is typically used in colder climates and as with all gel pigs it is used in situations where a mechanical pig cannot be.

Hyper Gel Pig is a highly flexible gel pig with shape memory which is specifically designed for use in environments of extreme temperature. This means that Hyper Gel Pig can be applied under extreme pipe conditions and can also be stored in very hot or very cold climates without damage.

HyperGel A is a flexible silicone gel pig with shape memory which is designed for use in environments where standard gel pigs are not suitable. Due to its composition, it can be used over a wider range of temperatures circa -15 to +110°C.

M-Gel Pig is a highly flexible gel pig with shape memory used in situations where a mechanical pig cannot be applied. It is capable of extruding through chokes and restrictions up to 50% of its diameter and returning undamaged to its original size and shape once through.

M-Gel Pig Breaker is an oxidising agent in liquid solution which chemically attacks the polymer structure of the M-Gel Pig and eventually turns the previously elastic solid pig into a liquid.

M-Gel Pig HT is a highly flexible gel pig with shape memory, used in situations where a mechanical pig cannot be applied. Storage up to 55°C, maximum working temperature 75°C.

M-Gel Pig HTD is a highly flexible gel pig with shape memory and added trace dye for improved visibility, used in situations where a mechanical pig cannot be applied. Designed for use at higher ambient temperatures between 40°C and 55°C.

A unique blend of linear and crosslinking gel, Maglift Gel is a Mill Scale debris transport solution. It not only enables efficient transport like conventional gels but also keeps debris suspended for longer.

Mono Gel Pig is a pipeline pig made from a mixture of gelled monoethylene glycol and water. Having a melting point of around 30°C it is typically used in colder climates and as with all gel pigs it is used in situations where a mechanical pig cannot be.

Petrolink Gel is an oil based crosslinked pipeline and fracturing gel. It is typically used in pipelines where the presence of water is undesirable due to the risk of hydrate formation or corrosion.
