Pig receiver
Pipeline & Midstream Operations
See **Pig Trap**. A pig receiver is specifically the trap at the end of the pipeline segment. It typically has a larger barrel diameter than the pipeline to allow the pig to slide in and stop without blocking the full flow (which goes through a bypass kick-out line).
Receivers often contain 'junk baskets' to catch the debris the pig has pushed ahead of it.
