Pipeline cleaning, explosives

Cleaning waterlines and fuel pipelines with pipe pigs has been an acceptable practice for many years. However, cleaning pipelines that conveyed explosives with a pipe pig is innovative, and proved to be very effective and economical. 

In keeping with the cardinal principal of safety in the explosives industry, cleaning product pipelines by the pig method exposes personnel to the least amount of hazardous material for the shortest period of time and reduces potentially hazardous disassembly operations to the minimum. 

Every explosive operation that requires conveying hazardous material by enclosed pipelines should be considered a candidate for cleaning the pipes by this method.
