System Design 1 x 2 inch Single Pig System with the ability to pig emulsion to a Chiller at very low pressure ensuring an average flow rate at the Chiller of 44Kg/min. This flow rate is critical to get the correct spread of the product on the paper. The emulsion transfer line to the Chiller is approx. 120m (360ft) long with a line hold-up volume of approx. 230kg of a very expensive coating.  The HPS Pig was proven, using laboratory tests, to be compatible with product especially in terms of no photosynthetic reaction.

Results Since the installation of the HPS system the losses are virtually zero.  This led to further orders in the UK and establishment of HPS as an approved supplier of Pigging Systems.
