Water quality in distribution networks must be maintained for both system performance and public health. Conventional techniques for cleaning pipelines, like air scouring, solid pigging, and unidirectional flushing, frequently require excessive amounts of water, risk damaging the pipeline, and cause operational problems. Ice pigging is a new, environmentally friendly method that uses a slurry of water and ice to remove deposits efficiently and with little disruption to service. Ice pigging's potential as an economical and ecologically responsible water system maintenance method is highlighted in this paper's analysis of its fundamentals, uses, benefits, drawbacks, and practical applications.
