Description
The EMT REDV Pig Detector offers a highly accurate solution for pipeline pig tracking and management. Operators around the world trust this model for its rugged design and consistent performance in oil and gas systems. REDV pig detectors include a ball valve under the flange, enabling safe and simple maintenance.
This configuration supports quick installation without shutting the pipeline down. Unlike the REIV model, the REDV places the valve below the flange for easier access. Pipeline engineers prefer this layout for its compact design and operational flexibility.
Why Choose the REDV Pig Detector?
Choose the REDV pig detector to track pipeline pigs with precision and speed. The detector signals the exact moment pigs pass through critical pipeline points. This real-time feedback reduces downtime and improves maintenance planning.
Additionally, this pig detector resists corrosion and high pressure in harsh environments. Operators rely on its stainless-steel construction for long-term durability.
Moreover, it withstands extreme temperatures without performance loss. This reliability guarantees continued service in upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors.
REDV vs. REIV: What’s the Difference?
The REDV uses a ball valve under the flange, which simplifies pig detector operation. Meanwhile, the REIV places the valve above the flange, changing its installation requirements. Both models perform well, but engineers often prefer REDV for low-clearance areas.
Because REDV reduces vertical space usage, it fits tighter pipeline configurations. Therefore, it often suits offshore rigs and compact processing facilities better. In addition, the ball valve placement enhances safety during hot-tapping procedures.
Key Features of the EMT REDV Pig Detector
- Ball valve under flange enables quick shutoff during maintenance
- Visual and electronic indicators show pig passage instantly
- Flanged connection ensures secure installation on the pipeline
- Rugged stainless-steel body resists pressure, vibration, and corrosion
- Compact structure fits limited-space applications easily
- Manual reset mechanism avoids false signals during operation
Engineers can also customize REDV pig detectors with different signal types. These include mechanical flags, magnetic sensors, or electrical switches.
Improve Safety and Efficiency in Pigging Operations
Pigging operations help clean pipelines, inspect for damage, and maintain flow efficiency. EMT REDV pig detectors play a critical role by confirming pig location. Without such tools, operators risk missing pigs or damaging internal components.
The REDV model detects both cleaning and inspection pigs with equal accuracy. In turn, this reduces the chance of pipeline blockages or pressure surges.
Furthermore, its ball valve allows safe removal of the detector without shutting down the pipeline. Technicians simply close the valve, remove the top section, and perform required maintenance.
Applications Across Industries of Pig Detector
Use the REDV pig detector in oil and gas pipelines, petrochemical plants, and refineries. It also suits offshore platforms, LNG terminals, and storage facilities. In addition, water and slurry pipelines benefit from accurate pig tracking.
Operators in both upstream and downstream sectors value its consistent performance. Because of its robust design, it handles high-pressure pipelines with ease.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
EMT designs the REDV pig detector for fast and safe installation. Mount the flange to the pipeline, align the indicator, and secure the bolts. Then open the ball valve to begin tracking pig movement. For maintenance, shut the ball valve and remove the top assembly. This design eliminates the need for pipeline depressurization. Also, technicians can replace seals and indicators quickly when needed.
