What is floating booms?

作者：

 The solid float welded PVC oil containment boom is a universal horizontal foam solid float high-strength double-sided plastic coated cloth oil containment boom. It has certain wind wave resistance and oil retention capacity, is durable, easy to use, easy to clean and repair, etc. the most prominent advantage is that there is no water inside the oil containment boom, so the cloth is very light to put in and recover. It is suitable for manual placement, which is suitable for both long-term placement in water and emergency placement. In addition to intercepting and guiding oil spills, it can also be used for intercepting some chemical liquids floating on the water surface, cleaning garbage and other floating objects on the water surface and protecting specific water areas. In addition to intercepting the spilled oil, the hopetopway oil barrier can also guide the spilled oil and concentrate it as much as possible for further recovery and treatment.

Here is the contene list:

● Deployment of oil containment boom

● Function of oil containment boom



Deployment of oil boom:

1. There shall be a detailed plan for the layout and deployment of the oil containment boom in advance. The magnitude and direction of tidal current shall be considered during deployment. One end of the oil containment boom can be dragged to the predetermined point and fixed with an anchor to allow it to drift downstream. Then, the ship can anchor the oil containment boom at the next anchor point at the predetermined place and repeat the positioning section by section in turn. When the tide is small, the oil containment boom at the main point, turning point or connection point can also be anchored, and then the middle anchor can be connected to the oil containment boom and thrown. After the preliminary deployment of the oil boom, the position of the anchor can be further adjusted to make the oil boom layout have a more correct shape. The ship can lift the anchor with the anchor rope and drag the anchor (or drag the oil boom) to move.

2. After the oil containment boom is deployed, a specially assigned person shall monitor it to prevent the failure of oil containment boom layout or even loss of oil containment boom due to hydrological and meteorological changes and anchor slip.

The functions of oil containment boom can be summarized as follows: containment and concentration, oil spill diversion and prevention of potential oil spill.

● Oil spill containment and concentration

After an oil spill accident occurs, the oil spill will rapidly diffuse and drift under the influence of tide, wind and other external factors, forming a large polluted area. In case of oil spill in open waters, nearshore waters or ports, oil containment booms shall be arranged in time to control the spilled oil in diffusion in time. The oil film can be gathered in a small range for recovery by dragging or narrowing the enclosure range through the oil containment booms, which can not only prevent the diffusion of oil spill, but also increase the thickness of oil film for recovery or other treatment.

● Oil spill diversion

After an oil spill accident occurs, the spilled oil will drift and spread freely under the action of external factors. In order to facilitate the recovery operation or to dredge the spilled oil to the designated place, especially in the area with rapid flow in the river or near the shore, in order to effectively control the flow direction of the spilled oil, facilitate the recovery or prevent the spilled oil from entering the sensitive area, the oil containment boom is usually used to set external defense according to the set angle. There are generally two situations for oil spill diversion. One is to arrange the oil containment boom for a long time, which is generally arranged at the water intake and power plant; Another situation is to arrange oil containment booms near reefs, mainly in case of oil spill, temporarily arrange oil containment booms according to specific conditions to realize oil spill diversion and lead the oil spill to areas that are easy to recover or other non sensitive resources.

● Prevent potential oil spills

Prevention of potential oil spill usually refers to the arrangement of oil containment booms in advance for oil spill prevention and control according to the local water conditions where oil spill may occur or there is oil spill risk. In this way, when the oil spill really occurs, the oil spill can be prevented from spreading, and recovery measures can be taken to recover the oil spill in the containment in time. When a ship carries out oil loading and unloading operations at the wharf or oil transfer at the anchorage, it is usually necessary to set up an oil containment boom in advance according to the specified requirements; Sometimes, a grounded or sunken ship should be properly enclosed and controlled according to the actual situation before salvage.

 Take the  Hopetopway Chemical Spill Kit . The chemical spill kit consists of socks, gaskets, pillows and goggles, gloves, and a chemical trash can. The chemical spill kit is contained in a convenient zippered storage bag for easy transportation to and from the spill area and is compact enough to be stored in a van or behind the driver's seat if required. Chemical absorbent cotton is suitable for small areas of chemical liquid leakage, directly covering the liquid. For large area or multi-capacity leakage, adsorption cotton can be used to delineate the leakage range and gradually reduce the leakage range. According to the actual leakage area, the appropriate length of adsorption sliver should be selected, and the contact points at both ends of the sliver should be overlapped to form a strong barrier for leakage. Absorbent cotton pillow is used alone or with absorbent cotton sliver. When used, the operator can directly put the adsorption cotton pillow on a larger area (or has been s

On April 20th, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform blew out and exploded. After burning for about 36 hours, the drilling rig finally sank in the morning of April 22. The accident resulted in the death of 11 workers and 17 injuries, and at least 560000 tons of crude oil flowed into the Gulf of Mexico, which is recognized as the largest oil spill in industrial history. In order to prevent the further expansion of the oil pollution area, the cleaning workers use physical barriers such as oil containment boom to block the oil pollution. At the same time, they drove the skimmer to clean up most of the oil slick and absorbed the residual oil slick like a sponge with an adhesive. In order to solve the problem of oil spill on the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform, workers put 5.3 million liters of oil chemicals into the oil well. Oiling agents are similar to dishwashing agents, which can effectively decompose oil and dissolve it into water, reducing the erosion of oil on the coastl

  what is a boom oil spill ? Since the 1960s, oil spills have frequently occurred. After oil spills, sea water pollution has been caused. Oil pollution will also isolate the air exchange between the atmosphere and sea water, and weaken the energy of sunlight penetrating into the sea water, resulting in serious hypoxia in the sea water, weakened photosynthesis of marine plants, unable to grow normally, and the number of marine plankton that feed on it will also decrease, thereby destroying the marine ecological balance. Not only that, after the decomposition of oil, a large number of nitrogen and phosphorus residues will be produced, leading to the eutrophication of sea water. At this time, the algae and plankton in the sea seem to get a delicious look. They greedily eat these nutrients. In the process of feeding, plankton also need a lot of oxygen, but the oxygen in sea water is very limited, so plankton and other marine organisms began to compete for oxygen, Many marine creatures suff

How are oil spills caused?

作者：
  Oil spills can have a devastating impact on the environment and wildlife, as well as on local economies that rely on tourism and fishing. These spills can be caused by a variety of factors, including accidents, natural disasters, and human activities. One common cause of oil spills is accidents involving oil tankers, pipelines, and offshore drilling platforms. These accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including human error, equipment failure, and extreme weather conditions. For example, a tanker may run aground or collide with another vessel, resulting in the release of oil into the water. Another cause of oil spills is natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, which can damage oil infrastructure and cause spills. These disasters can also trigger landslides and mudslides, which can bury or damage pipelines, leading to spills. Human activities can also contribute to oil spills. For example, illegal dumping of oil and other hazardous substances into
