Abstract: A method of cleaning a pipeline is performed by introducing a treatment composition comprising a colloidal particle dispersion having inorganic nanoparticles with an average particle size of from 500 nm or less into an interior of a pipeline to be cleaned. A pig or body is passed through the pipeline to spread the composition upon surfaces of the interior of the pipeline. The composition and materials adhering to the surfaces of the interior of the pipeline are removed to facilitate cleaning of the pipeline.

Abstract: A compact subsea pig launcher (16) comprises a tubular magazine (42) for holding a plurality of pipeline pigs (10) in longitudinal succession ready for launching successively into a subsea pipeline. The magazine (42) is shaped to define at least one turn such as a coil around an upright axis. Thus, a series of pigs are stored in longitudinal succession along a path that is curved in plan view around the upright axis. During launching, at least one of the series of pigs is advanced along the path with angular movement around the upright axis.

Abstract: A pipeline pig includes a venturi and a modulating valve located rearward of the inlet side of the venturi. When the valve is in the open position, a predetermined maximum bypass flow is allowed through the venturi. The closed position allows a predetermined minimum bypass flow. The valve may be a poppet-style valve or a frusto-conical shaped stopper. The stopper has sufficient mass and/or aerodynamic drag to overcome the spring force holding the valve in the open position. When the pig stalls, the valve closes and the stopper chokes bypass flow through the venturi. When the pig starts running again, the valve opens as inertia forces the stopper away from the inlet side of the venturi. Also, as friction of the pig increases due to changes in the internal diameter of the pipeline or accumulation of debris ahead of the pig, increased airflow across the valve creates drag.

Abstract translation: 管道猪包括位于文丘里管入口侧后方的文氏管和调节阀。 当阀门处于打开位置时，通过文丘里管允许预定的最大旁路流量。 关闭位置允许预定的最小旁路流量。 阀可以是提升阀或截头圆锥形止动器。 止动器具有足够的质量和/或空气动力学阻力以克服将阀保持在打开位置的弹簧力。 当猪失速时，阀关闭，止动器扼流器旁路流经文丘里管。 当猪再次开始运行时，阀门打开，因为惯性力使塞子远离文丘里管的入口侧。 此外，随着管道的内径变化或猪排前方的碎屑的积聚，猪的摩擦力增加，增加的气流横跨阀门产生阻力。
