Hydrates are a solid structure (similar to water-ice) that is formed when natural gas interacts with water at high ambient pressures and cold environments. i-Tech 7 utilizes hydrate remediation techniques based on a combination of pressure reduction and chemical injection technology to disassociate blockages in subsea production facilities. i-Tech 7 Hydrate Remediation Skid is designed to interface with work class and heavy work class ROVs operating on multi-service vessels or drilling rigs.
