Self-inflatable containment boom
The ECOSPEED booms are air-filled containment booms which expand instantly as they come off the reel during deployment, without the need of blowers, compressors, or other forms of external air-supply. Instead, air is sucked in through the flush-mounted breathers situated on the top of the boom, thereby filling the floats with atmospheric air. The self-inflating system and absence of check valves make the ECOSPEED an exceptionally fast launching boom, with minimum personnel requirements.
ECOSPEED booms have excellent wave following characteristics because of their high buoyancy, flexibility, and stability. Internal solid flotation foam gives the booms plenty of reserve buoyancy.
The ECOSPEED system can be supplied with an electrically driven reel, providing an efficient and user-friendly solution for both deployment and recovery of the boom. By using electric drive, the need for hydraulic power units or combustion engines is eliminated, enabling completely emission-free operation at the point of use. The power pack is fully integrated into the system, resulting in a compact, protected solution with a clean and streamlined design. The result is a modern, reliable, zero-emission system that helps reduce environmental impact without compromising performance or operational readiness.
ECOSPEED booms are designed to provide increased visibility in the dark..
