A Plug Launcher is a pressure-containing pipeline tool used to safely launch pipeline pigs into a pipeline without interrupting product flow. It provides a secure chamber where a pig can be loaded, sealed, and released into the pipeline using line pressure. Plug Launchers are widely used in oil and gas transmission systems for pipeline cleaning, inspection, batching, dewatering, product separation, commissioning, and maintenance operations. Our Plug Launchers are available for sale and lease, offering reliable pig launching solutions for onshore and offshore pipeline operations. Applications Pipeline pig launching Oil and gas transmission pipelines Crude oil pipelines Natural gas pipelines Refined product pipelines Pipeline cleaning Pipeline inspection Dewatering operations Product batching Pipeline commissioning and maintenance Technical Features Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel or stainless steel. Designed for safe pig loading and launching under pressure. Heavy-duty quick-opening closure for fast and secure access. Available in horizontal and vertical configurations. Corrosion-resistant internal and external coatings. Equipped with pressure gauges, vent valves, drain valves, and safety interlocks. Suitable for launching foam, utility, cleaning, batching, and intelligent pigs. Leak-proof sealing system for maximum operational safety. Skid-mounted options available for easy transportation and installation. Designed in accordance with international pipeline standards. Available Types Horizontal Plug Launcher Vertical Plug Launcher Quick Opening Plug Launcher Skid-Mounted Plug Launcher High-Pressure Plug Launcher Offshore Plug Launcher Custom-Engineered Plug Launcher Typical Specifications Parameter Specification Pipeline Size 2" – 48" Working Pressure 150 – 10,000 psi Design Temperature -29°C to 121°C Material Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex Stainless Steel Closure Type Quick Opening Closure Connection Type Flanged, Welded, or Hub Connection Corrosion Protection Epoxy Coating or Internal Lining Standards ASME Section VIII, ASME B31.4, ASME B31.8, API 6A (where applicable) Key Benefits Enables safe and efficient pig launching. Minimises pipeline downtime during maintenance. Supports cleaning, inspection, and batching operations. Reduces operational risks through secure pressure containment. Heavy-duty construction for long service life. Easy to operate and maintain. Suitable for onshore and offshore pipeline systems. Corrosion-resistant for harsh operating environments. Improves pipeline efficiency and flow assurance. Helps reduce maintenance costs and non-productive time (NPT). Industries Served Oil & Gas Production Pipeline Transportation Petrochemical Plants Refining Facilities Offshore Production Platforms Gas Processing Plants Energy Infrastructure Marine Terminals Pipeline Construction Contractors Midstream Oil & Gas Operations Plug Launcher Sales and Lease We supply new and refurbished Plug Launchers from leading global manufacturers for both sale and short-term or long-term lease. Every unit undergoes comprehensive inspection, hydrostatic pressure testing, non-destructive testing (NDT), and dimensional verification to ensure reliable performance and compliance with international standards before delivery. Our Sales & Leasing Services Include New and refurbished Plug Launchers. Daily, weekly, monthly, and project-based rental options. Hydrostatic testing and certification. Inspection, maintenance, and refurbishment services. Spare parts and replacement seals. Technical support and installation assistance. Fast mobilisation for onshore and offshore projects. Worldwide logistics and delivery. Complete documentation, inspection reports, and pressure test certificates. Our Plug Launchers are engineered to provide safe, efficient, and dependable pig launching for a wide range of pipeline operations. Built for durability and ease of operation, they help operators improve pipeline integrity, reduce maintenance downtime, enhance operational safety, and maximise the efficiency of pipeline cleaning, inspection, and flow assurance programs.
