Fire Boom
Fire-resistant booms for in-situ burning of spilled oil: ceramic-based American Fireboom and the water-cooled inflatable Hydro-Fire Boom.
Description
Elastec makes two fire booms for containing floating oil during controlled in-situ burning (ISB). During the 2010 Deepwater Horizon response, 411 controlled burns were conducted, most of them using Elastec fire booms; Elastec says its systems lasted four times longer than competitors', some up to 12 hours.
