A gaseous or liquid propellant is used to push the pig through the system. This strategy avoids rinsing loss of valuable product, provides reduction of adverse environmental impacts, and gains high efficiency for less investment. The book describes clearly and methodically the important basic equipment required for the planning and design of pigging units. Many practical examples are shown for the operation of industrPipeline piggingPipeline pigging.621.8/672Hiltscher Gerhard1757310Muhlthaler Wolfgang1757311Smits Jorg1757312MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910876892203321Industrial pigging technology4195126UNINA05818nam 22008295 450 991014391170332120200702124456.03-540-47873-610.1007/3-540-47873-6(CKB)1000000000211696(SSID)ssj0000323533(PQKBManifestationID)11272582(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000323533(PQKBWorkID)10299890(PQKB)11347740(DE-He213)978-3-540-47873-7(MiAaPQ)EBC3072140(PPN)155202936(EXLCZ)99100000000021169620121227d2002 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtccrGesture and Sign Languages in Human-Computer Interaction International Gesture Workshop, GW 2001, London, UK, April 18-20, 2001.
