Superior Spill Containment

Throughout the 20 plus years that OILFENCE barriers have been in use, both materials and design incorporated improved components as they became available. The molded plastic components and fabric presently specified are today's superior performers.

The unique OILFENCE design remains a timeless classic, as practical, effective and reliable a solution to spill control needs today as it was when introduced.  In fact, many of the original OIL-FENCE barriers are still in service, either where first installed or as re-installed in new locations. Other boom systems have come and gone, but OILFENCE thrives, because it cost effectively delivers superior performance under the most difficult operating conditions.

 HIGH STABILITY in chop, wind and tidal currents

OILFENCE booms deliver outstanding stability, even in high currents or severe off-shore applications, because of their unique, large ratio of flotation span to height.  This ratio is possible, because the OILFENCE system uses extra-wide outrigger flotation to support its high-tensile strength barrier fabric.  Stiff injection molded vertical stabilizers reduce bowing in currents and maintain the barrier against splash-over.

In this environmentally sensitive world, choosing a long-term oil spill containment system can be a critical decision. To guard against costly environmental problems, your barrier system must be effective, reliable and practical for your unique conditions.

This is exactly why OILFENCE barriers have been the oil industry's superior spill containment solution for over two decades. In permanent installations worldwide, durable OILFENCE booms are providing unsurpassed containment for floating materials. An OILFENCE barrier delivers outstanding stability, buoyancy and corrosion resistance, plus easy installation and routine maintenance. The record of long-term, OILFENCE applications in oil handling and producing installations around the world includes: offshore production platforms, exploratory rigs, marine terminals and other coastal facilities, oil jetties and settling ponds.

Thousands of feet of OILFENCE barrier have been in continuous use since 1972, a record of durability unmatched in the industry today. Extended service life is the design fundamental of OILFENCE barriers. The system was specifically and totally planned for long-term, permanent installation - not adapted from a temporary use design. All materials are specified for durability and corrosion resistance under extreme conditions.

Adverse sea and climate conditions can make sophisticated inflatable types or other booms hard to launch and keep in service. But difficult environments are no problem for OILFENCE containment. OILFENCE barriers perform to design standards in climates that range from sustained Arctic cold to the fierce summers of the Arabian Gulf. OILFENCE installations have proven effective and practical under widely varying sea, wind and current conditions. Moreover, your crews can easily handle routine maintenance, section by section, without removal from service.

OILFENCE barriers are also an outstanding emergency containment solution. An OILFENCE barrier provides initial response capability and durability under sustained use that no inflatable or light-weight emergency response boom can deliver. In remote operations where an inflatable boom system can't be backed up, rugged and reliable OILFENCE barriers can form the basis for a realistic emergency response plan.
