Abstract
A process for pipe cleaning using one or more cleaning modules which are propelled through the pipe by a hydraulic fluid to apply at least two cleaning tips in a particular alternating sequence. The hydraulic fluid is inspected to determine when no further abrasive cleaning is required. When such a determination is made, another tip is applied to finish the surface of the pipe.
