Pollution control boom Pyroboom

floatingsheltered watersfire-resistant

A solid flotation barrier PyroBoom® has been demonstrated to maintain its effectiveness and structural continuity even after exposure to a 2400 of fire for up to 24 hours. Operationally, PyroBoom® exhibits the toughness and durability that are the trademarks of its siblings, GlobeBoom® and Oilfence™. In-situ burning of oil spills is becoming recognized as an effective and efficient solution to removal of spilled oil. PyroBoom® is a unique barrier utilizing a blend of refractory fabrics and metals to achieve a continuous burning capability of over 24 hours in a boom with conventionally geometry and sea keeping characteristics. We have been developing PyroBoom® since 1983 to meet the strenuous and unique operating regime of in-situ burning of petroleum spills. Easy Maintenance and Repair PyroBoom® is a solid flotation barrier that combines a unique wire reinforced refractory fabric for the above surface barrier with conventional GlobeBoom® fabric for the skirt. The glass foam filled, steel hemispheres are mechanically attached to the barrier. The modular construction allows for easy salvage, maintenance and repair in the field. Fabric: Fireproof section consists of silicone coated, high temperature metallic (Inconel®) wires interwoven with similar wires and refractory materials (Fiberfrax®). For strength and flexibility below the water line, our proven PVC coated Polyester "ED" fabric is used.
