BoomVane
Current-powered paravane for deploying containment boom in fast water or from a single vessel, available in five sizes from 0.3 m to 2 m.
Description
BoomVane is a deployment and retrieval device for containment boom in fast water or from an advancing vessel. Powered only by the current, it works on the same principles as sailing and kite flying. Elastec holds multiple international patents and states over 500 units have been sold.
Key features
- Lighter than trawl doors, with higher bollard pull at lower speeds, removing the need for a second vessel
- A distant rudder keeps a constant angle of attack
- 10 or more vanes maximize wetted area
- Two people can deploy 500 ft / 150 m of boom in half the usual time
- Five sizes: 0.3 m, 0.5 m, 1 m, 1.5 m and 2 m
- BoomVane Spray variant for dispersant application
Applications
Single-vessel boom sweeping and boom deployment in rivers and other fast-current waters.
