In Ras Al Khair, Eastern Saudi Arabia we have installed a 300 m OilFence33 boom fitted on sliders in a V configuration. DESMI got jelly fish nets suspended from the booms.
The booms are anchored every 25m and is doing quite well for the past 6 years. The customer flips the boom in water every 4 months so that the marine growth on the boom skirt dries away. The symmetrical geometry of the boom permits this, unlike other booms.
This “longterm boom solution” is installed inside the intake channel, closer to the pump house and is less exposed to rough open sea conditions.
