Low Life Cycle Costs - Reliable Performance - BJVP Pigging Valve

Overview:

BJVP Pigging valves enable you to recover costly products out of product lines. Once the pig is forced through the line, the remaining product film on the inside of the product line can then be removed with much less CIP fluid which lowers the amount of wastewater, cleaning fluids and cleaning time. They are particularly well suited in processing viscous fluids.

The BJVP pigging valve design is a simple, safe and convenient way to insert and remove flow line pigs. It eliminates excessive equipment and reduces the number of operations, thus limiting expenses and loss of product.

Parameters:

Features:

• Over-sized entry bore to accept swollen pigs
• Entry cap vent holes to provide positive release of trapped pressure before removal.
• Bleed valve connections (1/2" NPT) to facilitate a choice between venting and draining
• Integral Flanges
• Easy shop/field maintenance.
• Replacement parts and seal kits are readily available
• Positive stop plate is easily repositioned 90 degrees on the operating stem to accommodate flow direction.
• Operating stem is easily marked to verify the position of the ball
• Cap lugs ensure that pigs are fully inserted into the ball cavity eliminating binding when rotating the valve                                           *- other standard available upon request.

Advantages:

There are several advantages of pigging valves over conventionally fabricated barrel-style launchers and receivers. The footprint required to accommodate a pigging valve is considerably less than the barrel-style launcher. Simplistic in operation as you are now operating a single quarter-turn ball valve instead of numerous valves that are associated with the barrel style.

Safety is enhanced by the inherent features and built-in redundancy as well as the reduced number of steps to perform the pigging operation. You also won't be in the line of fire for a projectile situation with the pig. The pigging valve is environmentally friendly if you are venting to atmosphere as the volume of media can be reduced by up to 91 percent.

Maintenance is simplified with a substantial reduction in the number of valves and the overall size of the configuration. The Argus pigging valve is widely accepted by junior, intermediate, and major oil and gas producers around the world.
