Boom Developments
Advances in Boom Fabrics Design and Manufacture.
More complex shapes and hydrodynamic efficiency .
Faster Deployment and Recovery.
More efficient in faster current speeds.
All leading to more efficient containment and recovery.
Boom Systems
Dynamic Oil Recovery up to 3 knots
Paravane
Paravane in Operation
Automatic Pre-Inflated Boom System
Pump Developments
More Efficient Skimmers need more efficient Pumps.
Brush Chain Conveyer Principal
The Brush Chain developed by LORI in the 1980´s was an excellent productfor recovering medium to heavy oils; the fundamental philosophy was to
lift the oil out of the water, let the water drain off and then scrape the oil off.
Brush Development
Heavy Viscous Oil Lighter Oil
Different Direction for Heavy and Light Oil Recovery
Brush Development
Upwards for Heavy Oil
Downwards for Light Oil
Upwards Rotation for Heavy Viscous Oils
Pump Developments
More Efficient Skimmers need more efficient Pumps.
Pumps that are small and powerful.
Pumps that can pump both light and heavy oil.
Pumps that can operate in the Tropics and in the Arctic.
Pumps that are easy to service and maintain.
Pumps that are proven and reliable.
