Ice pigging is a technique used for cleaning pipes, distinguished from traditional pigging by the use of a semi-solid 'pig' made of ice, rather than a solid object. This ice pig is capable of flowing through pipes, navigating obstructions such as valves and variations in pipe diameter, due to its fluid-like properties.
Pigging requires the pipeline to be designed to be pigged from the outset. If the pipeline contains topological variations including changes in diameter, butterfly valves, instrumentation, tight bends, pumps or reduced port ball valves, the pipeline cannot be traditionally pigged. In such instances, alternatives such as Ice Pigging may
Deepchill Technologies Inc. (previously known as Sunwell Technologies Inc.) registered the world's first slurry ice patent application in the US in 1976. [1] Deepchill pioneered and continued to develop the field of slurry ice and is today the world leader in slurry ice systems, with numerous patents worldwide covering various processes for the production, storage and distribution of slurry ice.

Pumpable ice can be produced in one of two ways: either by mixing crushed ice with a liquid or by freezing water within a liquid. The primary way is to manufacture commonly used forms of crystal solid ice, such as plate, tube, shell or flake ice, by crushing and mixing it with water. This mixture of different ice concentrations and particle
