Abstract:
An apparatus (50) is provided for use in internal cleaning of at least one pipe (10), which apparatus (50) is arranged for connection to a first pipe end (14) of the at least one pipe (10) and to a second pipe end (15) of the at least one pipe, wherein the apparatus (50) at least comprises a coupling device designed for connection to a reservoir of pressurized gas, a pressure chamber (20) for introduction of cleaning pigs (21) and a pig receiver (23) for receiving cleaning pigs (21) which have passed through the at least one pipe (10). The apparatus (50) further comprises a pressure booster (29) for pressurizing a liquid fluid and at least one valve means (16,17) so as to allow a cleaning pig (21) to be driven through the at least one pipe (10) by means of either the pressurized gas or the pressurised liquid fluid.
