A remotely actuable launching system for inserting pigs into a pipeline includes a barrel that can accommodate a series of pigs end-to-end. The pigs are urged towards the forward end of the barrel where they are controlled by a pair of axially spaced actuators for release one at a time into the pipeline. Operation of the actuators is effected by a control system using high pressure nitrogen gas and which can be remotely operated to effect launching of a pig into the pipeline at any desired time, without the need for personnel to be on-site.

Système de lancement télécommandé pour introduire des pistons racleurs dans un pipeline. Le système comprend un baril qui peut loger une série de pistons racleurs placés de bout en bout. Les pistons sont poussés vers l'extrémité avant du baril où ils sont contrôlés par une paire d'actionneurs espacés axialement qui les lancent un à la fois dans le pipeline. Les actionneurs sont mis en marche par un système de commande au moyen d'azote sous haute pression et ces actionneurs peuvent être télécommandés pour lancer les pistons dans le pipeline à un moment donné sans qu'il soit nécessaire que des employés se trouvent sur place.
