    Bruno Gonçalves
    This document discusses the purposes of pigging, or using devices called pigs to clean and inspect pipelines. It describes how pigs are used during various stages of a pipeline's lifecycle, including construction, testing, commissioning, operation, and inspection. Pigs safeguard pipeline assets, optimize efficiency, and help ensure safety and environmental compliance. They are used to clean, gauge, remove water and moisture, batch products, and perform inline inspections of pipelines transporting various materials like water, gas, oil, and refined products. The document provides details on pigging procedures for different types of pipelines.
