Marine oil spill booms are floating barriers designed to contain and control the spread of oil spills on water surfaces. They help concentrate the oil for easier recovery and prevent contamination of sensitive areas. Spill response involves deploying booms alongside skimmers, sorbents, and other techniques to mitigate environmental damage.

Size: Typically 12" to 52" in height, lengths range from 50 ft to 200 ft per section.

Grade: Light-duty, medium-duty, heavy-duty, and ultra-heavy-duty based on wave height and current conditions.

Viscosity: Suitable for oils with viscosities ranging from light fuels (1-10 cSt) to heavy crude (10,000+ cSt).

Buoyancy: Flotation capacity of 5 lbs/ft to 30 lbs/ft depending on design and material.

Material: PVC, polyurethane, or rubber-coated fabric; some include stainless steel or aluminum connectors.

Freeboard: 6" to 24" above waterline to contain spills.

Draft: 6" to 36" below waterline to trap oil.

Tensile Strength: 1,000 lbs to 10,000 lbs depending on grade and construction.
