Perth Petroleum Services Oil & Chemical Spill Equipment

Description

SeaCurtain ReelPak boom systems self-inflate during deployment so there is no need for pumps or other ancillary equipment and there are no check valves to close. Even the largest systems require only one control console operator and one tow boat for deployment. With its reserve closed-cell foam flotation and compartmental design, ReelPak booms provide maximum heave response and are unsinkable. Recovery is quick and easy - the self-baling design ensures maximum self-compaction onto the reel.

Key features:

• Rapid deployment capability of more than 500m in less than 15 minutes
• Automatic inflation on deployment
• Automatic compaction on recovery to the reel
• No auxilliary pumps, valves, blowers or compressors required
• Not dependent on mechanical air supply or hermetic sealing of air chambers to maintain freeboard
• Can be left unattended for extended periods and over night without a tender
• Closed cell foam flotation provides 150% reserve buoyancy to ensure working freeboard, even if boom were to be damaged extensively
• Compartmentation prevents boom flooding from local damage and even then, boom is automatically selfbailing during recovery
• The flotation chamber is double-walled and compartmented bulkheads are approximately each less than 2 metres to prevent boom flooding from local damage
• 100% polyurethane-coated high-visibility yellow fabric with RF welded seams provide maximum ultra-violet and hydrocarbon resistance and easy repair
• 400m lengths of ReelPak boom are easily towed at over 10 knots for extended distances in rough water
• One/two man operation
• Immediately reuseable
• Compact storage
