I’m not yanking your chain. They are very serious about making this system and pigging 2″ lines. I have also done some research and they do make pigs that small. The Idea is to have 10 tanks all with a dedicated line going to a manifold A at the end of the tank farm. From there they want to use hoses to connect to the manifold B that is attached to the reactors and blenders. Since none of these products can mix because of contamination issues, we will pig the lines going from the manifold B to the reactor. If tank 5 fills one reactor with a product, it goes through its cycle and produces a product that goes in tank 6. Since these cannot mix after they are done in the reactor we have to pig the line so we don’t throw the batch off. Sorry for the late reply I’ve been very busy trying to understand their concept and fix their ideas. ( piping designers job= making engineers dreams come true.)

Thanks for all the input,

Joe
