How Containment Booms Are Deployed, Anchored, and Recovered Containment booms are deployed by staging and inspecting the boom and rigging, joining sections, attaching the correct towing hardware, and paying the boom out from shore, a dock, a workboat, or a reel. The crew then positions it in an exclusion, diversion, or containment configuration, secures it

Skimmer, Pump, Power Unit, Temporary storage: What a Complete Recovery Package Looks Like A recovery package has to work as a system Buying oil spill response equipment one piece at a time can look efficient on paper. A skimmer gets quoted. A pump gets added later. A power unit is borrowed from another trailer. Temporary
How to Size a Mechanical Recovery System An oil spill recovery system is more than a skimmer. The skimmer matters, but it is only one part of the recovery chain. A properly sized system has to collect oil, move oil, store oil, support the crew, and keep working in the conditions where the spill is

Cranberry farming relies on a unique agricultural process that sets it apart from most other crop industries. During the fall wet harvest, growers flood their bogs and use floating containment boom—often called cranberry boom, cranberry containment boom, or bog boom—to corral and collect the berries as they rise to the surface. This simple but highly
Oil skimmers are crucial in managing these oil spills. They help remove oil from the water’s surface. They work by separating oil from water, allowing for collection and disposal. Different types of skimmers are used depending on the situation. Each type has unique features and applications. Understanding how oil skimmers work is vital for environmental
