pipeline pigging

Explanation:
Het inwendig reinigen van pijpleidingen door er een een 'pig' doorheen te schieten (onder druk) net zoals een ouderwetse buizenpost. Zie Google.
Hierbij (en ook tijdens doorblazen) treedt een drukverhoging op waartegen het drijvende dak (van een opslagtank?) kennelijk bestand is.
