PIE - Pipeline Integrity Engineers
JQ RSims is a professional pipeline engineering consultancy which was established in 2008. We offer a professional consultancy service relating to high pressure gas and liquid pipelines and associated installations. With the collaboration with key players in the market, JQ RSims has extensive knowledge and experience of pipeline integrity management, pipeline operations, project management and engineering support requirements.
JQ RSims is a one stop center, offering a wide variety of pipeline solutions to customers, including pipeline pigging (mechanical cleaning), chemical cleaning, flow assurance, pipeline integrity inspection, defect assessment and Fitness for Purpose (FFP). JQ RSims also offers wide range of cost effective solutions based on customers’ capacity (budgetary requirements) and also pipeline conditions (operational issues) with high emphasis on HSEQ.
Pipeline should be designed to ensure a trouble-free pigging operation. Basically a pipeline needs a consistent open bore from start (launcher) to finish (receiver) and should be designed to be pigged successfully and consistently. Pigs are run to maintain the pipeline efficiency.
Most pipelines are regularly pigged to ensure optimum performance. However, it is impossible to maintain 100% pipeline efficiency due to various factors such as friction and other physical factors that reduces flow. So, it is solely crucial for operators to maintain their due diligence and pig their pipeline to maximize throughput.
Now how well are you aware of your pipeline condition?
JQ RSims has been providing pipeline inspection or pigging support to pipeline operators/customers for many years.
With a focus on pipeline integrity, a significant part of this work has always involved assessing the piggability of the pipelines to ensure that pigging and In-Line Inspections (ILI) is feasible, and to help define the scope of the preparatory. Therefore it is crucial for JQ RSims to assess pipeline information from customer to initiate the piggability analysis to ensure robust assessment is made and the pigging operations are properly planned. So, it is essential that all available pipeline data are gathered and assessed. In many cases, data for the pipeline can often be found and/or verified through a site survey. Prior to starting any planned pigging activity, JQ RSims will normally perform engineering pigging (pipeline proving and cleaning) before ILI. This has generally been done in conjunction with the operator based on its existing records, and in conjunction with a nominated ILI contractor based on its particular requirements.
The pigging industry has developed a tremendous range of techniques and technologies which was almost unheard a decade ago. JQ RSims offers expertise, equipment and experience on the pipeline assessment based on customers’ budget and resources. JQ RSims will review customers’ wide range of issues concerning their pipeline and will initiate assessment to provide expertise and experience to address their concerns.
JQ RSims offers a wide range of Pipeline Pigging Solutions; from increasing pipeline flow efficiency, standard pipeline pigging (cleaning) operations, pre-inspection cleaning, corrosion control, displacement or batching activity. So selection of pig design and configuration of build is crucial to determine the effectiveness of pipeline pigging. The type of pig used to clean a line also depends on the nature of the material in the pipeline. Pigs are available in variety of combination to perform various functions in a pipeline however pigs are designed to perform a specific function. It is almost endless combination of pigs that perform a variety of functions in several different types of pipelines. The type of pigging used by the pipeline industry depends on the beneficial end results desired. To select a proper pig configuration, the operator must know the following things;
-
- Pipeline size
- Wall thickness(es)
- Minimum bend Radius (radius and degree of bend)
- Pipeline Length
- Product Media (gas, oil, etc.)
- Flow rate / Velocity
- Side connections (Tees barred / unbarred / Y-Piece)
- Valve type and internal cavity (Valves should be full bore / full opening)
- Pigging history
- Abnormalities (dual diameter/H2S /mitre-bends/high flow/high temp/wax/black dust)
JQ RSims offers a wide variety / design of pigs to accommodate any pipeline application and condition. JQ RSims pipeline survey document attached to assess customer information to determine the type of pig selection. With a team of professionals, JQ RSims collaborate with any international pig manufacturer to offer customer on all range of pigging products. JQ RSims performs thorough analysis based on pipeline characteristics. Each pipeline to be cleaned has its own characteristics that need to be studied: quality of product, pipeline design, geography, flow regimes, corrosion history, operations and maintenance are large factors in estimating the condition of the pipeline. Hence, JQ RSims will determine the most safest, efficient and economical way to clean most pipelines and offer a series of progressive manner to effectively achieve the desirable cleaning results.
JQ RSims formed a strong partnership with global pig manufacturers and offers in-house capabilities to customize pigging products to cater customers’ specific pipeline conditions.
