Abstract
A cleaning device for a seismic streamer includes a housing placeable the exterior of the streamer. A turbine is associated with the housing and is configured to be rotationally driven by movement of the streamer through a body of water. A drive element is associated with the housing and is configured to convert rotational motion of the turbine to motive power to move the housing along the streamer. At least one cleaning element is associated with the housing and is cooperatively engaged with the exterior of the seismic streamer. A method for cleaning a streamer includes towing the streamer through the water. Motion of water is converted into motive power to move a cleaning device along the streamer.
