Oil Spill Clean Up
Oil Spill Response requires reliable and suitable equipment. Equipment that occupies low revenue space of vessel when stored and can be quickly mobilised. AlphaMERS has developed Single Point Inflation Oil Boom, Integrated containment and skimming system besides flex barges, skimmers and such equipment.
Integrated containment & skimming system
AlphaMERS has designed and developed its patented technology for integrated containment and skimming system – the latest generation of equipment in the oil spill response technology. This system using two arms of single point inflation boom is pulled through the water and the spill oil is directed towards a skimmer being towed which also decants the oil and transfers to the flex barge being towed behind.
Single Point Inflation System
AlphaMERS has designed and developed a single point inflation boom which is inflated from one end and 200 Meters of this boom is inflated within 20 minutes. This speed of inflation is invaluable in a spill emergency. These booms are made of very heavy duty Neoprene or synthetic rubber.
One of the special feature of this boom is that the air valves if found defective can be replaced on site without needing to cut or repair the fabric on site.
Boom Reel
Boom Reel Oil containment boom reels are the most efficient and quick way to store, deploy and recover extended lengths of boom. The BR-AM-25 boom reel is a hydraulically operated boom reel to store deflated boom. It is fitted inside a 20 feet container which also has a hydraulic power pack and an independent air inflator. The boom reel is made up of marine steel grade and it is powered by a 300 CC hydro motor.
Flex Barge
A flexible barge is a non-rigid barge made of neoprene fabric and has reserve buoyancy. It has external webbing on the outside for strength and has a capacity greater than 10 tons.
AlphaMERS flex barge has extra buoyancy tubes securely attached to main barge body and longitudinal strength members to withstand waves when towing in moderate seas.
