what is a containment boom？

作者：

 The oil containment boom is a kind of equipment that collects oil spills, oil stains and other diffusion. There are portable and solid floating oil booms. The portable oil boom is composed of inflatable floating body, skirt, counterweight chain, tension belt and anchor. The materials used for the inflatable floating body and skirt have good characteristics of oil resistance, seawater corrosion resistance and anti-aging. They are easy to remove after being stained with oil, small in volume, light in weight and easy to operate after being deflated. Portable oil booms are divided into marine type, offshore type and port type according to the sea area. The above water height, draft, floating body diameter, length of each section, weight, tensile strength and other technical data of oil booms used in different areas vary with their models. Portable oil booms are used to block oil pollution at the wharf and port. When the oil pollution spreads, they are generally fixed on the water surface where the fence is required. Solid floating oil booms have been widely used in water areas that need to be fenced for a long time, such as aquaculture farms, bathing beaches, waste steel ship dismantling waters, factory water intakes, etc.

Basic structure of oil containment boom.

The oil containment boom can float stably on the water surface, which is used to prevent the spread of oil spills in the water area, reduce the area of oil spills, transfer oil spills and floating objects, and protect the water environment. There are many kinds and forms of oil containment booms. But the basic structure is composed of floating body, skirt, tension belt, counterweight and joint.

lFloating body of pvc boom: the part that provides buoyancy for the oil containment boom. Its function is to use air or buoyant materials to provide buoyancy for the oil boom, so that the oil boom can float on the water. The floating body can be placed inside or outside the surface of the oil boom.

lSkirt of oil containment boom: refers to the continuous part of the oil containment boom below the floating body. Its function is to prevent or reduce the escape of oil from under the oil boom.

lTension belt of floating boom: refers to the long belt components (chains, belts) that can bear the horizontal tension exerted on the oil boom. It is mainly used to bear the tension generated by wind, waves, currents and towing.

lCounterweight of Rubberc oil fence: ballast that enables the oil boom to sag and improve the performance of the oil boom, which can make the oil boom in an ideal state in water. Generally, it is made of steel or lead, or water is used as ballast.

lJoint of Rubber silt curtain: it is permanently attached to the oil boom and is used to connect each oil boom or other auxiliary facilities.  

Performance index of oil containment boom.

The performance indicators of the boom generally refer to the freeboard, draft, height, total height, weight, total buoyancy, floating weight ratio and tensile strength of the boom.

Freeboard of the oil boom: the minimum vertical height above the water line of the Rubberc oil fence. It is used to prevent or reduce oil spillage from splashing over the oil containment fence.

lDraft of pvc oil boom: the minimum vertical depth of the surface layer below the water line of the oil boom.

lHeight of oil boom: the sum of freeboard and draft of oil boom.

lTotal height of oil boom: the maximum vertical height of the oil containment boom.

lWeight of oil boom: the total weight of a fully assembled section of oil boom, including the joint of the oil boom.

lTotal buoyancy of the Rubber silt curtain: the weight of fresh water drained by the water when all the oil containment booms sink.

lTotal floating weight ratio of oil containment boom: the ratio of total buoyancy to total weight of oil containment boom, referred to as floating weight ratio. The high floating weight ratio indicates that the oil boom has a strong ability to restore its floating state after being flooded. This self recovery ability of the oil boom is called wave following. The higher the floating weight ratio, the stronger the self recovery ability and the better the wave following property.

lTensile strength of oil boom: the breaking force when the oil boom is broken.

Storage and maintenance of oil boom. 

The storage and maintenance of the pvc oil boom is directly related to the rapid oil spill emergency response and the effective implementation of containment operations. In order to ensure rapid response, the storage place of the pvc silt curtain should be as close to the wharf, operation site and sensitive resource protection area as possible, and ensure that the storage place of the oil boom is convenient for vehicles and ships to enter and leave. The Rubber oil booms tored outdoors should ensure that the storage place is well drained, pay attention to pests, moisture-proof, and avoid direct sunlight; When stored indoors, attention should also be paid to moisture resistance and good ventilation conditions, and necessary measures should be taken in advance to prevent pests (such as spreading rodenticide) according to the situation; The oil booms that need to be folded and stored should be placed on the spacer frame and no other items should be stacked on it to avoid the deformation of the oil booms caused by excessive pressure, and the stacked oil booms should be regularly inspected, and the original folding trace should be avoided when folding again; If it is necessary to store the oil boom on the reel, avoid distortion of the oil boom during the winding process, and regularly unfold the wrapped pvc oil boom, and then recycle it after inspection. The maintenance of the oil boom mainly refers to the daily maintenance and the maintenance after the recovery operation. The maintenance after the recycling operation mainly checks whether the oil boom is damaged, whether the accessories are complete or whether it needs to be replaced and repaired; Routine maintenance generally check whether the pvc silt curtain is worn, broken, fiber aging, connector corrosion or damage caused by pulling and other loading and unloading reasons, and carry out necessary maintenance and replacement; The oil containment boom that has been placed in the water area for a long time should also be maintained regularly. Generally, the oil containment boom should be towed ashore regularly according to the specific situation to remove the marine organisms and other adhesion attached to the surface of the oil containment fence; No matter what kind of maintenance is carried out, it is necessary to make detailed records and arrange the inspection and maintenance items according to the records, so as to ensure that all the contents involved in the oil boom can be generally inspected and maintained within a certain period of time, so as to keep the oil boom in a good standby state at all times.

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
