BARREL-O-BOOM
The Barrel-O-Boom System is a self-contained oil spill response kit that features self-inflating boom for fast, easy deployment. It has no valves and does not require any inflation equipment or special tools. Each system can easily be attached to another to meet any containment requirements. Each system includes up to 250ft of containment boom with built-in tow adaptors at each end, two tow bridles, two 75-foot tow lines, one packet of absorbent pads, and one plastic overpack barrel for storage and shipping. Recovery is quick and easy with use of the compaction rope. Pulling the rope from one end of the boom quickly deflates and compacts the boom. The compacted boom is then ready to re-pack into the barrel for storage until next deployment. Learn about how Elastec’s oil booms meet ASTM and ISO standards, and OPA90 regulations.
