FOC Oil Boom
Fast Oil Cleanup Boom
Helping you to quickly respond to small and large spills by preventing them becoming costly
http://www.erosionpollution.com/FOC_Oil_Boom.html
FOC Oil Boom Quote Request Using innovative technology, the FOC Oil Boom is deployed at speeds of up to 34 miles (54.7 kilometers) per hour (1) , over five times faster than conventional oil containment booms.
The FOC Oil Boom is the only available oil containment system small enough to allow tankers, ships and other watercraft, as well as marinas, harbors, ports, shipping lanes, beaches, and other water entry points to store it on-site so that it can be deployed quickly following an oil spill. The canister, which holds the film laminate used to contain an oil spill, measures just 20 inches in length, by eight inches in width, and eight inches in depth. Questions? Give us a call @ (+1) 772-646-0597. The film laminate used in the FOC Oil Boom is essentially a two-dimensional product when stored, and a third dimension (bulk) is added on deployment. It uses adsorbent versus absorbent principles.
The FOC Boom is the only available oil containment system designed to contain up to 100 per cent of the oil from a spill -without absorbing the water. Even better, the oil can be reused, dramatically reducing the economic cleanup costs.
An environmental breakthrough, the FOC Boom is the first of its kind to be recycled with the oil during the cleanup process. Final remediation is done using existing methods.
Deployed FOC Oil Cleanup Boom
Product Specifications:
Deployable Buoy One rotational moulded unit One vinyl retrieval loop One vinyl carry handle One clasp hook One 1,000 foot roll of two ply poly film laminate sorbent barrier Color: White granite.
Physical Dimensions:
Height: 22 inches Width: 8.5 inches Depth: 8.5 inches Weight: 9 pounds.
Please note that the FOC Boom can be connected in series, and tossed in the water to be used as a marker when more than 1,000 feet of barrier is required.
Performance Specifications FOC Oil Boom:
Contains and holds all hydro carbons, all viscosities. Functional breakage length is above 1 mile or 1.6 km. Deployment speed is in excess of 30 mph. No skill is needed. Indefinite shell live.
Environmental Specifications:
Works in any climate.
How it works:
With its compact size and easy of storage, the FOC Boom deploys rapidly at speeds of up to 34 miles (54.7 kilometers)(1) per hour after an oil spill occurs, and the beginning of the film laminate is tossed from the back of any small watercraft creating a barrier around the forming oil slick or spill.
As the film laminate lands in the water, the friction of the water holds it in place. While the watercraft circles the perimeter of the oil spill, the film laminate continuously streams from the dispenser to immediately contain and prevent the spill from becoming a run-away slick.
Once the spill has been contained by the film laminate, the laminate then starts absorbing the oil, pulling in 47.3 - 125.7 times its weight (2). Pockets of the film laminate fill creating even more buoyancy which is crucial in rough waters.
The film laminate is an oilophilic (oil attracting) olefin-type substrate similar to polyethylene film. It has a thickness of just 0.0005 inches (0.127 mm). A standard 1,000-foot roll of product is only six inches in diameter and requires 1/20 of the storage space required by similar absorbent materials currently used in the oil spill industry.
In addition to its compact storage capability, the laminate film on our FOC Oil Boom is capable of adsorbing the spilled oil it is intended to contain while having the unique characteristic of not absorbing the water it is deployed on. Unlike similar absorbing materials which begin to hold water immediately after deployment, the laminate film is oil-adsorbing plastic material that floats on water but will not absorb it.
