Drain-pipe interface device
A drain-pipe interface device is disclosed. The drain-pipe interface device may include a hollow profile defining a threaded portion located on an outer surface the hollow profile. The threaded portion is configured to engage with an opening associated with a drain-pipe, to couple the drain-pipe interface device with the opening. The drain-pipe interface device may further include a handle provided on the hollow profile. The handle may be used to rotate the drain-pipe interface device couple with the opening.
Systems and methods for protecting a tether line disposed in a pressurized pipe
Systems and methods are disclosed for protecting a tether line within a pressurized pipe. As the tether line is extended and retracted, portions of the tether line are prevented from directly engaging jagged profiles formed in the pressurized pipe.

STANDALONE PIGGING SKID
Devices and methods to drive a pig along an interior tube or pipeline are described herein. The pigging unit may be separate from any large trailer to allow for operation of the pigging unit in locations with spatial constraints. The apparatus generally includes a skid, internal components, access points on the exterior of the skid, and a control device.

REMOTELY OPERATED HORIZONTAL PIG LAUNCHER
The present invention concerns a pig launcher comprising a tubular pig housing holding several pigs in line. A main connector is connectable to a fluid flow line at an end of the tubular pig housing. A kicker valve is provided for each pig and includes a control pressure inlet, a flow inlet and a flow outlet. A kicker valve control pipe is connected each of the kicker valves and to a kicker system connector. A kicker header is connected to the flow inlet of each of the kicker valves. A kicker branch pipe is connected between each of the kicker valves and the kicker branch pipe inlet for each of the number of pigs.

SPRAY COATING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A spray coating system includes a spraying robot sized to fit within a conduit. The spraying robot includes arms that extend outward and retract inward to maintain contact with an interior surface of the conduit. The spraying robot is configured to be coupled with hoses that separately supply different fluids to the spraying robot. The spraying robot includes a spray head from which a compound formed from the fluids is sprayed onto the interior surface of the conduit. The spraying robot is configured to be pulled through the conduit and/or self-propel in the conduit to spray the compound onto the interior surface of the conduit and form a coating thereon.

LIQUID INTAKE WITH REMOVABLE COVER
Devices and methods to impart liquid into a pumping unit are described herein. Specifically, a vertical liquid intake is described which allows for diversion of liquid flow from horizontal to vertical without a loss of capacity or increased risk of cavitation. The liquid intake generally includes a body with separate channels and a removable cover.
