NOFI OCEAN BUSTER 1000

The NOFI Ocean BusterTM is capable of collecting, containing and separating oil at towing speeds (or currents) of up to 5 knots. The system is a result of further development of the NOFI Current BusterTM technology and is designed to be suitable for offshore conditions.

At the stern of the NOFI Ocean BusterTM the system includes a combined high capacity flexible separator and temporary storage unit. By means of the separation (settling) technique, the unit contains a thick layer of calm oil, thus providing a skimmer or a pump with almost pure oil giving excellent recovery rates.

At normal operational towing speeds between 3 and 4 knots the NOFI Ocean BusterTM, with a 50m front opening offers excellent area coverage and high operational flexibility, because the compact system can be turned easily and towed quickly from one oil slick to another.
The NOFI Ocean Buster represents a breakthrough in high speed oil containment operations:
• 5 knots towing speed in calm sea
• 2-3 knots in waves
• Built-in separator, combined with temporary storage "tank" of gross 70m3, net approx. 30m3 of oil
• Suitable for most types of oil
• Front opening 20 to 80m, depending on the length of the guide boom
• Additional high speed guide booms available
• Freeboard 1000mm, with an additional 400mm at the stern
• Soft materials for storage on boom reel
• No adjustments of the system are required even if speed or oil types vary
