Abstract:
Method and system for clearing a pipe system from its contents, the pipe having a proximal end and a distal end, the method including providing an air supply to the pipe system at the proximal end by applying an air pressure decreasing from an initial pressure as the bulk of the pipe contents get discharged gradually at the distal end for obtaining a contents flow in the pipe system. The method further includes determining a volume of air supplied to the pipe system by the air supply, determining an estimated contents travel speed from the volume of the air supplied to the pipe and regulating the air supply to the proximal end of the pipe for obtaining a predetermined pipe contents travel speed using the estimated contents travel speed.

Claim (Index 9):
A system for clearing contents from a pipe system, the pipe system having a volume, a proximal end and a distal end, the system comprising:\n an air supply connected to the pipe system proximal end for supplying air to the pipe system at the proximal end, wherein an air pressure decreases from an initial pressure as a bulk of the pipe system contents get discharged gradually at the distal end for obtaining a contents flow in the pipe system; the system further comprising: volume determining means for determining an air volume supplied by the air supply; calculating means for determining an estimated contents travel speed from the volume of the air supplied to the pipe system; and control means arranged for controlling the air supply to the proximal end of the pipe system for obtaining a predetermined pipe contents travel speed using the estimated contents travel speed.
