Pressure Inflatable Boom
Boom Type: Curtain, Pressure Inflatable, Single Chamber
Recommended Conditions: Up to offshore/open ocean
“AirBoom” is a pressure inflatable boom which uses air for buoyancy. Each AirBoom section length (typically 25 m) consists of a single air inflated chamber. Our simplest, most cost effective and rapidly inflatable boom.
Booms can be inflated using handheld or backpack inflation blowers, or with integrated hydraulic blowers (stand alone or mounted on a boom storage and deployment reel.)
- Available in a wide range of heavy-duty PVC and urethane coated fabrics
- Single chamber design for rapid boom deployment
- High flow check valves for rapid inflation and deflation
- Ultra compact storage on boom reels or storage pallets
- Corrosion resistant ASTM style marine grade aluminum connectors
- Heavy duty galvanized steel ballast chain
