Inflatable Boom
Oil Stop - Auto Boom
Oil Stop`s single point inflation Auto Boom™ was the first single point inflation boom patented. Auto Boom™ was developed to provide safe, quick and efficient containment of floating oil. Auto Boom`s unique design makes it possible to store on and deploy from a hydraulic reel (winder), large lengths (up to 2,000 feet) of oil spill containment boom. As the boom is deployed from the reel, it automatically inflates from a single air source. Once inflated, the patented design allows each flotation chamber to be isolated, and in the event that one chamber is damaged or deflated, adjacent chambers remain fully inflated so that the boom can continue to function properly. As a unique added feature, Auto Boom™ incorporates a thin layer of closed cell foam inside each inflation chamber to provide positive buoyancy when the boom is not inflated.
