NEO Boom Self-Inflating Containment Boom

Model NEO 2, NEO 3

Self-inflating boom with patented closed/open-cell foam that needs about one-third the storage space of conventional boom.

Description

NEO Boom combines the compact storage of an air-inflated boom with the strength of conventional foam flotation. A patented closed-cell/open-cell polyfoam combination lets it self-inflate when the air valve is opened; it deflates by rolling into a coil or winding onto a boom reel. No internal devices or ancillary inflation equipment are needed.

Key features

  • About 1/3 the storage space of conventional boom
  • Can be deployed by fewer personnel
  • Conforms well to waves
  • Unsinkable, keeping functional freeboard even when damaged
  • NEO 2: 10 in (25.4 cm) high, 4 in freeboard, 6,000 lb tensile strength

Applications

  • Rapid-deployment oil spill containment from vessels and boom reels
