General Characteristics and Applications
What is a 36″ Offshore Standard Oil Containment Boom and who is it for?
This Enviro-USA boom is ideal for offshore loading or offloading operations. A high freeboard protects against splash over due to waves, windy conditions and choppy water and a deep skirt prevents oil from escaping below skirt. The primary users are spill response contractors.
