A pipeline processing assembly for a pipeline adapted to convey a fluid from an upstream end of the pipeline to a downstream end of the pipeline. The assembly includes a pipeline pig for removing earthen matter and other debris from inside the pipeline. The pig is inserted into the pipeline at the upstream end, and has a dimension substantially equal to an inside diameter of the pipeline to from a seal between the pig and the pipeline. A vacuum source communicates with the pipeline downstream of the pig, and generates a reduced air pressure sufficient for moving the pig downstream through the pipeline. The pig gathers and moves the earthen matter and debris downstream through the pipeline and outwardly through an exit opening formed at the downstream end.

La présente invention vise un système de nettoyage de pipeline pour canalisations de transport de fluide d'une extrémité amont du pipeline vers l'extrémité aval du pipeline. Le système comprend un piston racleur servant à extraire les matières solides et les dépôts accumulés à l'intérieur des canalisations. De dimensions approximativement équivalentes au diamètre interne de la garniture intérieure du pipeline séparant le piston racleur et la canalisation, le piston racleur est introduit à l'extrémité amont du pipeline. Un composant générant une dépression communique avec le pipeline en aval du piston racleur et induit une pression d'air limitée capable de faire avancer le piston racleur dans les canalisations. Ce piston racleur rassemble et déplace les matières solides et les dépôts vers l'extrémité aval du pipeline pour les évacuer par une ouverture ménagée à cette fin.
