Controlling the flow of contaminated water and other
dangerous liquids is a serious problem which faces every
Fire Brigade today. Erecting sandbag or earth dams is
often totally ineffective.
Our basic idea has been to use the weight of water
itself to make an effective and workable dam, preventing
the uncontrolled outflow of liquids.The boom can be used
as a large spillage container. The double chambered
nature of the boom prevents it from rolling away: the
laws of physics are used to great effect! Easily handled
by a small staff, quickly installed and effective over
every terrain, the ÖKO-TEC Double-tube-boom is superbly
conceived. The Double-tube-boom is made from extremely
tear and chemical resistant polyethylene. The diameter
of the larger tube is 40 cm, the smaller 20 cm.

SMALL SYSTEM AND MINIMUM STORAGE
The minimal amount of storage space required and a
total weight of less than 100 kg for the whole unit
makes the new system ideal for every Fire Service. |

The Task
The result of accidents with oil on water are often
special problems. Most important is how to contain the
spill in the shortest time, while insufficient manpower
and inappropriate materials are available.
The solution
The Double-Tube-Boom, already described for its use
on land, is an ideal boom for protection against oil in
calm and flowing waters. The large tube is filled with
air, drawn across the water and firmly anchored. Because
the boom has little weight and little depth in the water,
it has little or no resistance to the water flow, and
can therefore be moved by a small crew, without getting
out powerful pulling equipment. Once the boom is in
position the small tube has to be filled with water, submerging
the unit at least 18 cm into the water. When the job is
finished, the whole system can be removed quickly and
efficiently by the same small crew. |
|
| How It's Used It is
recommended to first unroll the required length of boom
material on land. The boom should be filled with air
from any available air blower. Connectors for any kind
of blowers same as exhaust injectors are available upon
request. |
|
The Double-Tube-Boom is simple to operate and use on water.
Only two men are needed at the boom end. Because of the
light weight and the easy roll-out procedure using the
reel, the Double-Tube-Boom can be quickly brought into
the desired position.
Using connectors, available on request, several boom
sections can be joined together. |
|
|
|
|
A special problem connected with oil booms arises usually
where they are attached to the shore. The water-filled
small diameter tube easily follows any terrain. |
|
As the water and air filled tube will follow wave
movements, a spilling of oil over its top is virtually
impossable. |
|
|
|
|
|
A mobile system for controlling the flow of
fire-fighting water is now reality! Dangerous liquids
and contaminants are kept back, held in one area in all
terrains. The system ties up few crewmen -two is
adequate- and because the Double-Tubed-Boom can be used
in the length needed at the time, it is cost effective
in use. |
|
Once the required length of boom material has been
unrolled, it can be cut off and the end closed off, or
the remaining material can be left on the reel. If the
boom has to be extended or formed into a circle, one
simply lays the two ends of the boom one over the other.

The Task
Containing contaminated water and other dangerous
liquids in a closed area demands a method of closing off
doorways and gateways quickly and effectively. Often,
building regulations and general production traffic
prevents a permanent solution to the problem to be built
into doorway design.
The solution
A polyethylene Double-Tube-Boom, as already
described, is sealed on one side in a length of 8 m. On
the other side, a special filling connection enables the
2-chambers to be filled simultaneously with water. The
complete system is stored in a metal container, like a
fire extinguisher, fastened on the wall next to the door.
For fire tenders we recommend the door boom in a
aluminium transport container.
|
|
How it´s Used
The complete system is taken out of its holder and
laid out in or on either side of the doorway, sealing
out the contaminated fluids. Any unneeded material
remains unrolled. The boom is available in long or short
lengths. Connectors and sliders are also available in
stainless steel. It is possible to seal off two or more
doors with one length of boom tubing. Also ideal as
flood protection.
Mini-Sealer
Also excellent for damming off streets and driveways,
or for diverting flood waters and spillages. It saves
costs on cleaning up contaminated sandbags and earth
dams. |

Spill sontainer for 1250 litres
The door boom, used in the form of a spillage container,
can hold up to 1250 litres of liquid with its length
of 8 m. It can be used in a variety of different
environments with the additional benefit of being highly
resistant to chemicals. |

Technical Details
Door sealer set includes:
8 m Double-Tube-Boom, polyethylene 200 microns thick, in
white with a red print, with diameter of 40 cm and 20
cm. One side sealed flat the other side two tube-like
sections. Y-shaped filler section for filling the 2
tubes simultaneously, aluminium coupling and a slider
"c". Supplied ready for immediate use, in aluminium
transport container.
