Molche sind Paßkörper, die einen Rohrinhalt mit Hilfe eines Gases oder einer Flüssigkeit durch eine Rohrleitung schieben. Sollen verschiedene Produkte voneinander getrennt gefördert werden, kein Verlust von wertvollen Rohstoffen und Fertigprodukten auftreten, die Umweltbelastung reduziert werden, kurzum mit geringen Investitionskosten eine hohe Effizienz der Anlage erzielt werden, kommt die Molchtechnik zum Einsatz.
Das Buch beschreibt methodisch und übersichtlich die apparativen und anwendungstechnischen Grundlagen der Molchtechnik, die für die Planung und Auslegung der Anlagen wichtig sind. Die langjährige Industrieerfahrung der Autoren kommt den verschiedenen Beispielen aus der Praxis zugute. Es ist eine in dieser Form und in diesem Umfang konkurrenzlose Gesamtdarstellung dieser Technik.
Ingenieure und Verfahrenstechniker, die Produktionsanlagen in der Chemischen Industrie, Lebensmittel-, Kosmetischen- und Pharmazeutischen Industrie sowie im Raffineriebereich planen, bauen und betreiben, finden in diesem Handbuch Anleitung und Unterstützung bei der Gestaltung ihrer Anlage.
Autorentext
Gerhard Hiltscher is the author of Industrial Pigging Technology: Fundamentals, Components, Applications, published by Wiley.

Klappentext
Pigs are snug-fitting plus which are able to perform various maintenance tasks such as cleaning or removing deposits or blockages in pipe and pipeline systems from the inside. A gaseous or liquid propellant is used to push the pig through the system. This strategy avoids rinsing loss of valuable product, provides reduction of adverse environmental impacts, and gains high efficiency for less investment.
The book describes clearly and methodically the important basic equipment required for the planning and design of pigging units. Many practical examples are shown for the operation of industrial pigging units, drawn from the authors' longtime experience in this technology. In this form and scope the book is an unrivaled presentation of this technology.
Engineers and chemists who plan, construct, operate and maintain production plants in the chemical, food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industry will find an invaluable source of advice and reference for pigging units.
