    1. The document describes the sequence of operations for launching and receiving pigs in a pigging system using mechanical key interlocking. 2. For pig launching, it involves 30 steps including depressurizing lines, draining, purging with nitrogen, opening isolation valves in sequence, and finally closing valves to isolate the pig launcher. 3. For pig receiving, it involves 19 steps including depressurizing lines, opening isolation valves to allow the pig to enter the pig receiver trap, draining, and finally closing valves and isolating the pig receiver. Mechanical keys are used to lock open and closed valves in a defined sequence to ensure safety.
