Rigid Boom System RB400
The Oil Limited Rigid Boom
System is constructed by
assembling individual booms
having a freewater height of
200mm and a below water
rigid depth of 400mm.
Booms are connected together
by flexible joiners giving
the boom assembly
flexibility in its length
yet still retaining rigidity
in its vertical plane.
The revolutionary design of
the system allows the boom
assembly to be used in tidal
flows where traditional
booms cannot retain spilt
oil.
Individual booms weigh less
than 17kgs. enabling rapid
on site assembly and
deployment with the minimum
of operators required to
attend. The same criteria
applies to recovery after
incident.
Each boom section is
individually buoyant,
removing the need for a
separate inflation system as
required by conventional
boom systems. In addition
each section contains
integral ballast obviating
the requirement for tension
wire ballast. |
