OILFENCE™

OILFENCE™ Performance Advantages

HIGH STABILITY in chop, wind, and tidal currents, OILFENCE™ booms deliver outstanding stability, even in high currents or severe off-shore applications because of their unique, large ratio of flotation span to height. This ratio is possible because the OILFENCE™ system uses extra-wide outrigger flotation to support its high-tensile strength barrier fabric. Stiff, injection molded vertical stabilizers reduce bowing in currents and maintain the barrier against splash-over.

Measured to ASTM standards, OILFENCE™ buoyancy scores an impressively high 10 to 1 ratio. Moreover, in a very significant measure not included in the ASTM calculations, an OILFENCE™ boom responds quickly to wave impact, displaying a much steeper response curve than many inflatables and conventional systems. OILFENCE™ containment is also an outstanding performer in high winds. In three- meter waves, it has maintained freeboard and draft integrity through 100 kilometer (60 mile) per hour winds.
