Smart Pipeline Maintenance: RKSfluid Pig Launchers & Receivers
In modern oil, gas, and water pipeline systems, reliability and maintenance efficiency are critical. One of the key components ensuring smooth operations is the pig launching and receiving system.
RKSfluid delivers customized pig launchers & receivers tailored to your pipeline needs—covering onshore facilities to offshore platforms for comprehensive application.
RKSfluid® offers a complete service from design to manufacturing, fully compliant with ASME standards.
What Are Pig Launchers & Pig Receivers?
The pig launcher and receiver is an essential component in long-distance pipeline systems, designed to safely launch and receive pipeline pigs without interrupting the flow.
They are used to deploy and retrieve "pipeline pigs" - mechanical tools that travel inside pipelines to clean, inspect, or segregate fluids.
- Pig Launcher: Sends the pig into the pipeline.
- Pig Receiver: Safely retrieves the pig at the other end.
This process, known as pigging, helps remove debris, wax buildup, or scale, ensuring clean and efficient pipeline performance.
With a modular structure and robust corrosion and pressure resistance, it can be customized for different pipeline requirements.

Why Do Pipeline Operators Need Pigging Systems?
Without regular pigging, pipelines may face:
- Reduced flow efficiency & increased energy costs
- Internal corrosion & contamination
- Extended maintenance downtime
- Potential operational & environmental risks
By implementing pigging systems, operators benefit from:
- Optimized flow efficiency
- Extended pipeline lifespan
- Lower operational costs
- Safer and cleaner operations
