Although the
Oil Containment Booms listed are standard, Boom Environmental recommends custom designing
specific booms to solve unique problems. What this means is that
the standard designs are available with a variety of fabric options,
flotation sizes, load-bearing and ballast members, connectors and
lengths. When a variation on a standard design won't work, we design
to meet the requirement.
Shoreseal
Boom

Shoreseal Booms
are designed to provide a positive seal to the bottom in shoreline
areas for oil containment. The oil spill containment boom configuration consists of a
top air tube and double lower water tubes. This insures oil containment boom stability
over a wide range of shore profiles.
Features Include:
High Strength Polyurethane Coated
Fabrics in a Variety of Weights and Substrates
High Buoyancy to Weight Ratios
Low Storage Volume
Requirements
Large Diameter Fill Valves

The Compactable
Boom
A totally new concept in oil spill containment boom, so unique it's
patented.
The Compactable
Boom is designed for long term storage of large amounts of
oil containment boom in a small, compact space or reel, ready for quick response
to a oil spill containment emergency. No springs, hinges, coiled wire or similar
parts which can set or rust are used in the Compactable Boom.
This eliminates the potential for oil spill containment boom failure from these types
of parts. The reserve buoyancy of the Compactable Boom insures
that it will float and contain, even if the fabric is cut or torn.
The Compactable
Boom is quite different internally than other oil containment booms. Inside
the flotation pocket are multiple flotation disks, attached to each
other by four supporting lines. These disks provide the reserve
buoyancy. The supporting lines, when under tension, cause the disks
to stand up, giving the oil containment boom a flotation height equal to the diameter
of the disks.
This construction
gives the Compactable Boom its unique characteristics: compactability,
reserve buoyancy, simplicity and durability.
Compaction ratios
from 4:1 to 7:1 are available to meet your requirements.

The compactable
Boom is available in a wide range of freeboard/skirt sizes.
Standard section length is 33 feet.*
Several means
of storage are available for the Compactable Boom. They include
standard shipping containers, aluminum dock boxes, lightweight storage
tubes, or aluminum boom reels. All of these help to make storing,
deploying and repacking a simple task.
*Custom sizes
and lengths available. Please consult factory for details.

Mop Wringer Oil Skimmer
The
Mop Wringer Oil Skimmer represents a simple reliable oil skimmer
for deployment in sumps, separators, vertical shafts and for oil
spill response and is available in electric, diesel, gasoline or
hydraulic drives and variable speed controllers. This skimmer system
is completely explosion proof and safe in hazardous environments
and designed for continuous operation. The Mop Wringer can be equipped
with a timer for periodic maintenance recovery of floating oil in
settling basins. Also, listed below are options for extension Boom
to deploy the mop out into the basin and transfer pump to deliver
recovered oil to disposal sites.

Boom Environmental
recommends a
Vertical
Mop Wringer for use in concert with Sweep Containment Boom.
The Vertical Mop Wringer is excellent for fast water deployments
as this system does not require vessel mooring or maneuvering in
the water for recovery. The vertical mop skimmer can be deployed
over the side of a vessel or dock without introducing persons into
the river. This skimmer has a very high oil and low water recovery
ratio and is operator friendly. This type of skimmer is not affected
by sea state or wind as most floating oil skimmers. The oil recovery
system is field tested and in operation in many countries worldwide.
Hydra Vac
The Hydra Vac is a mobile, multi-purpose cleaning system for industrial use and oil spill response. A diesel engine powered vacuum pump generates vacuum from the suction staff and three (3) different suction heads for different recovery sites such as sand, cement or water.
Oily debris, water and oil can be recovered and delivered into storage drums or a portable Hopper unit. Different vacuum levels can be achieved to accommodate available recovery devices.
The Hydra Vac is equipped with a "High Pressure Washer Unit" with an eductor system capable of monitoring oil dispersant usage for cleaning equipment, removing contamination and broadcasting onto oil spills.
Disc Skimmer
The
Morris Disc Skimmer is designed to recover oil and other hydrocarbon
products with a greater than 98% oil to water ratio. The Disc Skimmer
recovery is governed by the variable disc skimmer speed. Each skimmer
head has four banks of discs and is driven by two (2) hydraulic
motors mounted inside the skimmer head.
The
skimmer head is married to a hydraulic power pack which is diesel
driven and wheel mounted in tubular frame with lifting eye. The
diesel motor is equipped with electric and hand/manual start. The
power pack generates hydraulic pressure to rotate the discs in the
skimmer head and power the recovery pump positioned on the power
pack. The diaphragm pump can also operate independently of the disc
skimmer accommodating other applications such as product transfer,
sump and tank servicing, shoreline and riverbank flushing of spilled
oil and other pump applications.
