Super Swamp Oil Containment Booms
The ideal boom for calm waters
These oil containment booms respond to spills in small streams, canals, roadside ditches and other shallow calm water areas. Swamp Boom is easily stored and transported, boom can be easily stored in tight spaces where storage space is limited. Conforms to OPA-90 specifications for calm water. Oil containment booms are generally the first equipment mobilized at the scene of a spill and the last to be removed. They are used for concentrating oil so that it is thick enough to be skimmed, for keeping oil out of sensitive areas or for diverting oil into collection areas. When deploying oil containment booms to recover spilled oil a common difficulty is controlling the movements and activities of vessels and directing them to the thickest areas of the oil slick. This can be overcome by using aircraft equipped with air to sea communications. Oil Containment booms incorporate the following features:
- 1) Freeboard to prevent or reduce splash-over
- 2) Sub-surface skirt to prevent or reduce escape of oil under the oil containment boom
- 3) Flotation by air or some buoyant material
- 4) Longitudinal tension member (chain or wire) to provide strength to withstand the effects of winds, waves and currents. This is often used to provide ballast to keep the oil containment boom upright in the water.
