Bilge Oil Absorbent Booms in Ross Dependency, Propeller Performance Optimization - Marine Pollution Control

Bilge Oil Absorbent Booms are specialized marine pollution control tools designed to contain and absorb oil spills in water. Made from hydrophobic materials, they efficiently soak up oil while repelling water. These booms are essential for preventing environmental damage in harbors, docks, and open waters.

Size: Typically available in 5" (12.7 cm) diameter and lengths ranging from 10' (3.05 m) to 20' (6.1 m).

Grade: Designed for oil absorption, suitable for light to heavy oils, including diesel, crude oil, and hydraulic fluids.

Viscosity: Effective across a wide viscosity range, from low-viscosity fuels (e.g., gasoline) to high-viscosity oils (e.g., bunker fuel).

Buoyancy: High buoyancy, capable of floating even when saturated with oil, ensuring continuous performance.

Material: Constructed from hydrophobic and oleophilic polypropylene fibers, which repel water while absorbing oil.

Absorption Capacity: Can absorb up to 15-20 times its weight in oil, depending on oil type and conditions.

Temperature Resistance: Operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).

Reusability: Some models are reusable after wringing out absorbed oil, while others are disposable.

UV Resistance: UV-treated options available for prolonged outdoor use without degradation.

Connectors: Equipped with stainless steel or plastic connectors for easy deployment and linking.

Yes, Bilge Oil Absorbent Booms typically comply with maritime standards such as IMO (International Maritime Organization) guidelines and MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) regulations.
