Intelligent pigging

AJAKS offers comprehensive cleaning and inspection of refinery furnaces and pipelines using low-pressure industrial intelligent pigging.

According to our clients, we have the largest equipment capacity in Europe, enabling us to clean multiple furnaces for several clients simultaneously. Moreover, by operating several devices in parallel, we can significantly reduce the cleaning time and, consequently, the downtime of the furnace.

Within the scope of industrial pigging, we provide decoking of refinery furnaces and pipelines, as well as removal of other types of heavy deposits. This includes computerised recording of the cleaning process and detailed reporting of the results achieved. Our portfolio also includes one-way pigging and gas pigging. All these operations are carried out in a closed loop, and the waste generated during the cleaning process is disposed of in compliance with applicable regulations and the highest safety standards.

Upon completion of the cleaning process, at the client’s request, we perform inspections of refinery furnaces using intelligent pigging.

This examination allows measurement of pipe wall thickness and assessment of the technical condition of furnace coils, enabling the proper selection of maintenance measures. This extends the service life of the furnace and reduces the risk of damage. Intelligent pigging is a non-invasive and highly precise alternative to commonly used non-destructive testing methods. The application of such inspection minimises furnace downtime and optimises processes related to production, maintenance, and overhauls.
