Filters on pig traps
(OP)
Is anybody aware of basket filters installed on a pig trap? If yes, exactly in which position?

RE: Filters on pig traps
If you did want to try to use one, where would you put it? Upstream of the trap, the pig would hit it. Downstream of the trap it would not catch anything, because the pig just pushed the junk out into the trap.
RE: Filters on pig traps
I've seen pig traps rammed full of sand and debris but never filters. In gas systems when you first pig them you can clog up the downstream filters pretty fast with dust....
"If yes, exactly in which position?" See above

Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
RE: Filters on pig traps
I often put line drips downstream of receivers as a preliminary slug catcher (in gas lines) and the fluid that comes out of them is often quite nasty. I sure wouldn't ever put anything more restrictive than that.
