Hydraulic Quick Disconnect (HQD)

Vita’s HQD serves as an immediate means of separation between a service vessel and an offshore installation. The HQD is activated hydraulically whenever: dynamic positioning is lost, there is a fire, or when tension in the flow line exceeds tolerable levels. The unit is equipped with dual check valves in order to seal fluid flow in both directions which prevents costly damage to the environment.
