Oil spills pose irreversible harm to coastal fisheries, aquaculture, seabird habitats and offshore marine ecosystems. For port terminals, offshore drilling platforms and river coastal projects, inflatable oil containment booms have become the most mainstream and reliable interception equipment to control floating oil pollution, far surpassing traditional solid rubber booms in practical operation.
Traditional hard oil booms are bulky, hard to transport and time-consuming to deploy. In contrast, inflatable containment booms can be folded into small volumes for storage on ships or port warehouses. When an oil leakage emergency occurs, staff only need to connect an air pump to fully inflate the equipment within a few minutes, quickly forming a continuous floating barrier on the water surface. The rubber floating body combined with heavy-duty skirt can block crude oil, diesel and fuel oil from spreading horizontally and sinking vertically, effectively limiting polluted water areas to a small range.
Matching oil absorbent felt, absorbent socks and other auxiliary materials, the booms form a complete set of spill response solutions. After intercepting floating oil, absorbent materials can rapidly adsorb oil stains without absorbing water, which greatly reduces the workload of subsequent manual salvage. For daily port routine prevention, enterprises can lay short sections of booms around fuel storage areas and ship berths as early warning isolation; for sudden large-area oil spills, long spliced booms can surround the polluted sea area to avoid oil drifting to breeding zones and tourist coasts.
