  • Publication number: 20240052963
    Abstract: An apparatus for propulsion and operations inside a cylindrical body, such as a pipeline comprises a central shaft, at least one motor and motor control unit, a number of wheels arranged to rotate round the shaft with a tilted angle, and a sensor module comprising sensors. The position of the wheels with respect to the shaft can be changed by means of an eccentric drive. The wheels are connected to a motor for rotating the wheels, and at least some of the wheels can rotate independent of other wheels.

  • Patent number: 7516794
    Abstract: A pipe separator for the separation of fluids, for example the separation of oil, gas and water in connection with the extraction and production of oil and gas from formations beneath the sea bed. The pipe separator includes a pipe-shaped separator body (1) with an inlet and outlet that principally corresponds to a transport pipe (4, 7) to which the pipe separator is connected. The pipe separator further includes a pipe bend or loop (2) arranged in the pipe separator or in connection with its outlet to form a downstream fluid seal in relation to the pipe separator body (1), which is designed to maintain a fluid level in the pipe separator, but which also allows the pipe separator (1) and the loop (2) to be pigged.
