| NOFI Inflatable Oil Barge - For
Temporary Storage of Recovered Oil |
 |
|
|
Practical experience from oil spills
has documented that very often there is a lack of infrastructure available,
especially for storage of recovered products. The NOFI Inflatable
Oil Barge is a new and important contribution to the problem of temporary
storage of oil and oil emulsions.
NOFI Inflatable Oil Barges in a series of three sizes, are made from
very strong oil resistant PVC-fabric and a specially engineered fabric
in 50/50 PU/PVC-coated polyester and with two layers of fabric in
the entire freedboard. To provide full floatation redundancy and maximum
safety against loss of oil the barges are divided into 14+3 independent
air chambers.
The design and dimensions of the freeboard frame are identical for
all three sizes. Three different skirt depths (draughts) give three
different storage volumes. Fast and easy air floatation by means of
a powerful air blower secures fast deployment of the barges.
NOFI Inflatable Oil Barges are delivered complete including a removable
roof, towing lines, lifting slings, air blower and spare parts - all
packed in a steel container. |
