10” Calm Water Oil Containment Boom without a top tension cable is frequently used by river responders for calm water or slow currents applications. 11" River Oil Contaiment Boom with a top tension cable is used for strong currents applications. These booms can be used in streams, waterways, ponds, rivers, and marinas. Both booms have a 4” float and a 6” skirt. The top tension cable is required if the boom is going to be subjected to strong winds or strong currents.
12” River oil containment boom has a 6” float, 6” skirt and a heavier chain than our 10” River boom. This boom is equipped with a top tension cable which allows the boom to withstand strong river currents. This boom is commonly used by river responders to divert oil spills largely to its bigger float which prevents splashover caused by strong currents or bad weather.
18” Responder oil containment boom has a float of 6” and a skirt of 12”. These booms are optionally equipped with or without a top tension cable. Top tension cable is required if the boom will have to sustain excessive wind or excessive water movement due to boat and recreational activity in the vicinity. The top tension cable provides a significant increase in tensile strength.
30” Coastline Oil Containment Boom has a 10” float and a 20” skirt. 30” booms are Ideal for Coastline and unprotected port deployment due in part to its 10" float and deep skirt which prevent splashover and oil from passing underneath the skirt due to bad weather or choppy conditions.
36” Offshore Oil Containment Boom has a 12” float and a 24” skirt. 36” booms are Ideal for offshore deployment due in part to its big float and deep skirt which prevent splashover and prevents oil from escaping underneath due to bad weather or choppy water conditions
