Pig Launchers

Pig Launcher: A piping arrangement that allows pigs to be launched into a pipeline without stopping flow.

Pig Passage Indicator: A device installed on a pipeline to indicate the passage of a pig. A visual or electrical indication, or combination thereof, is given when the pig passes. Pig indicators can also be used in automated systems for valve sequencing. A non-instrusive model, which does not require a tap, is also available.

Pig Receiver: A piping arrangement that allows pigs to be removed from a pipeline without stopping flow.

triggers/launchers

more context would obviously be needed to say for sure, but maybe this will help or allow you to think of something else

ejection devices

I think this could be right. They seem to be used in this field.

do a google search with:
petroleum "ejection device"

might help a bit or you might spot something else!
