Principles of Slurry Ice Pigging
What is Ice Pigging?
Ice pigging is a highly efficient and eco-friendly technology that uses slurry ice as a cleaning medium. Upstream water pressure pushes the slurry ice forward through the pipeline, effectively cleaning the pipe walls.

Station-based Ice Pigging System
For cleaning municipal water pipeline networks, the station-based ice pigging system is a high-performance and eco-friendly solution that improves operational efficiency and reduces service downtime.
The station‑based ice pigging system can easily extend capacity with station‑based slurry ice unit modules, with slurry ice stored in the ice crystal storage tank. Slurry ice can be distributed into multiple mobile MIP units. The MIP units can then be moved to any place where pipeline cleaning is needed.

The station-based ice pigging system is more widely used in pipe cleaning applications. This product is ideal for use in municipal pipe networks and is equally suitable for other industries, including food and beverage and dairy products. It enables continuous operation and ensures production continuity.
Ice Pigging Is a Highly Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Pipeline Cleaning Technology That Helps Safeguard Water Quality.
Ice pigging technology applies to pipelines of all diameters and lengths, and is ideal for daily maintenance of pipe networks, commissioning of new pipe networks, and resolving sudden water quality issues.
Regular Pipeline Maintenance Cleaning
Sediments and biofilm easily accumulate in the existing water supply pipelines, degrading water quality. Ice pigging is the most effective method to remove these contaminants, significantly improving water quality.
New Pipeline Commissioning Cleaning
Before connection to the network, residual contaminants must be removed and the pipeline flushed until water turbidity samples taken at the outlet are below 3 NTU. Ice pigging can meet this standard in a shorter time while significantly reducing water consumption.
Water Quality Emergencies
Emergencies such as water flow re-direction, valve/pipeline maintenance, and pipe bursts may cause water quality issues. Ice pigging can clean the pipeline and recover water quality rapidly.
