Offshore Oil Containment Boom
- Developed in compliance with ASTM 1523-94 (re-approved 2001)
- “Standard guide for selection of booms in Accordance of Water Body Classifications”
- Designed and manufactured to operate in extreme offshore conditions
- Neoprene fabric with high resistance to ultraviolet light, abrasion and hydrocarbons
- Very compact in storage (stored on Aqua-Guard SeaReel systems)
- Segmented chambers that are air-inflated providing superior buoyancy characteristics
- Utilizes inexpensive backpack blowers for inflating the air chambers
- SeaReel and power pack systems available for storage inside ISO shipping containers
- Easily repaired in the field (ability to be glued easily with neoprene glues)
