Required Minimum Pressures for smart pig

[hianbotech]

Some one could help me in known required minimum pressures for running smart pig.

We are designing a natural gas gathering network that will operate between 58 psig and 109 psig. However we would like to know if it is possible run smart pig with this application. I know that this is information to be supplied by pig suppliers. But we are in conceptual engineering, and only I would like to know different experiences before I will contact the suppliers.

Many thanks in advance.

Mostly pressure doesn't matter much. What matters is differential pressure. With enough dP your can move a pretty heavy pig.
