Zicom is a reliable manufacturer of Pig Launchers & Receivers, accessories and pigging systems for liquid and gas service, suitable for onshore, offshore and subsea pipelines. Products are designed and manufactured to meet customer requirements and industry standards.
Pig Launchers are used to launch a pig into a pipeline, while Pig Receivers receive the pig after successful operation. Selection of pig traps depends on the type of pigging operation and pipeline design conditions.
Zicom offers complete horizontal skid-mounted Pig Launcher & Receiver systems to facilitate transportation and installation. Customized designs are also available upon request.
Zicom standard Pig Launchers & Receivers include the necessary nozzles, properly sized and positioned for successful pigging operations.
