Hydrate Remediation Skid
Subsea 7's next generation hydrate remediation skid (HRS) incorporates smart, real-time software to efficiently remediate and prevent the potentially harmful build-up of hydrate in small volume pipeline systems, using a combination of pressure reduction and chemical injection technology to clear blockages in subsea production facilities.
The HRS is suitable for deepwater operations in maximum operating depths of 3,000m (10,000ft). It is designed to interface with work class and heavy work class ROVs operating on multi-service vessels or drilling rigs and can be integrated with any ROV using a top hat or cage system.
