Abstract:
A defouling device for mechanically disrupting fouling material for removal from a pipe or other a tubular member. The defouling device has inflatable portions capable of expanding to mechanically disrupt fouling material within a pipe. The defouling device may be attached to an inner luminal surface of the pipe or formed with the pipe. The defouling device expands circumferentially and radially to mechanically disrupt fouling material. The defouling device may also controllably expand longitudinally to mechanically disrupt fouling material and peristaltically pump fouling material through and out of the pipe.
