How to clean up oil spills in the ocean？

 How to deal with offshore oil leakage? Try the Hopetopway oil boom, which not only collects oil from the water but also prevents it from spreading. Booms are necessary equipment to prevent oil spill pollution in water area. To prevent oil spill pollution, the first step is to prevent the spread of oil spill. Solid float type welding type PVC oil boom is universal transverse horizontal bubble cloth solid float high strength both sides plastic coated is applied to oil boom, have certain ability to resist the wind and waves and the capacity, strong and durable, easy to use, the advantages of easy cleaning and maintenance, the most prominent advantage is inside the oil boom is not water, consequently cloth when launch and recovery is very light, suitable for manual cloth, Not only suitable for long-term distribution in water, but also suitable for emergency distribution. In addition to intercepting guiding oil spill, it can also be used for some floating chemical liquid interception, garbage and other floating objects cleaning and specific water protection.

Here is the contene list:

● The use principle of oil boom.

● The role of containment boom.

● Containment boom recovery and storage.

The use principle of oil boom.

△ Boom, also known as the rope, consists of three parts: floating body (float), screen body (skirt body in the middle), and counterweight (heavy weight at the bottom). Each of the three sections provides buoyancy to the boom, ensuring that it floats on the water. The skirt is connected below the float and forms a barrier under the water. Its function is to make the boom have a vertical depth of draft under the water and ensure that it can contain the oil spill of a certain thickness.

△ A heavy weight is attached to the underside of the skirt. The function of the boom is to balance the boom and also provide tension for the skirt to form a barrier. In the actual application of the boom due to the influence of the tide, wind, wave and other factors, so often for different environments need different effects of the boom, so in addition to the above three basic components, the connection, tension belt, core plate is sometimes the auxiliary parts of the boom.

The role of containment boom.

● In case of oil spill accident on sea or water surface, in order to prevent oil layer diffusion and facilitate oil spill removal, oil barrier is used to limit the oil layer. High strength, wear resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance, suitable for harbour waters.

● Stainless steel floating body, flexible material with temperature up to 1000℃ and universal quick joint constitute water fire protection system of fire containment boom, which can be used in series with ordinary containment boom.

● The underwater skirt of the oil boom is made of two layers of high strength fabric coated with oil resistant, aging resistant and flame retardant rubber, with high strength and aging resistance. The stainless steel wire rope at the top of the oil boom, the waist high strength strengthening belt and the bottom tension counterweight chain constitute a firm tensile system, using chain wrapped, the overall structure is simple and bright.

● In addition to the ordinary containment boom interception, control, transfer oil spill characteristics, but also used to intercept burning oil spill, water flowing fire. Prevent the spread of fire, especially suitable for oil port, oil dock, oil drilling platform and other sensitive areas with high fire rating. Fire containment booms can also be used to drag spilled oil to a suitable site for combustion treatment.

Containment boom recovery and storage.

The recovery process of oil boom is opposite to that of expansion, but it should be combined with storage mode.

Boom storage can be placed on shore boats. However, it is easy to damage the oil fence when entering the water and then recovering it, so it is best to have rollers and slideways beside the boat on the shore. Booms can be discharged, stacked (be careful not to disturb) or winched on shore. The solid float containment boom is relatively large in volume when stored by capstan, but it can be mechanically retracted and lowered more conveniently. The boom can be hoisted section by section onto the ship on shore by means of cranes and other devices. Detach all anchor lines from booms prior to recovery. Storage place should be ventilated, avoid direct sunlight.
