How oil spill booms work
The oil bar is also known as the oil rope, and its composition is divided into 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. With weights attached to the underside of the skirt, the boom balances the boom and also provides 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.
