Ice Pigging is the process in which an ice slurry is pumped into a pipe and forced along inside in order to remove sediment and other unwanted deposits to leave the pipe clean. It has many applications in the water, sewage and food industries as well as many other developing applications. The University of Bristol has held many laboratory trials to investigate various key factors and refine the process. Ice Pigging was invented and patented by Professor Joe Quarini of the University of Bristol.
Aqualogy Environment Limited hold the global license for the ice pigging technique and are introducing the process around the world.
