LAMOR STIFF SWEEPING RECOVERY SYSTEM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The sweeping arm system includes two arms with a length of

either 12 or 15 meters. Each sweeping arm consists of an outer
pontoon, a bridge and an inner pontoon welded together. In this
inner pontoon either a weir or brush skimmer module is fitted.
The inner pontoon contains the collection chamber in which the
pump (centrifugal or PDAS) is fitted.
The free floating arm is stored and locked with twist locks on the
deck. When in recovery position, the inner float leans against the
ship side. The float is protected with round fenders allowing the
arm to move with the ship’s rolling movement and waves.
The construction is made of aluminium and steel. The oil guiding

plate is made of polyethylene, an easy to clean surface, where
the oil does not stick.
The sweeping arms are launched via a set of cranes. Two

Hidroacar cranes specially designed for this purpose, are most
67
commonly used to operate the sweeping arms.
The Lamor oil recovery system uses the forward motion of the
vessel to deflect surface water and oil towards the collection area
formed by the apex of the stiff sweeping arm. The oil is collected
by the skimmer and pumped on board into the storage tanks.
The vessel equipped with the sweeping arms is capable to remove

oil from the sea up to Beaufort 5. The Lamor stiff sweeping
recovery system collects oil at speeds of up to 3 knots, depending
on the wave height and other operating conditions.

LAMOR HDB 2000 HEAVY DUTY BOOM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Lamor heavy duty boom is a segmented boom constructed in

such a way that two layers of synthetic fabric are vulcanized
together with synthetic oil-resistant rubber outer layers. The
boom is equipped with a ballast chain that guarantees correct
deployment in sweeping operations.
The boom has ASTM connectors and towing lines. On deployment

the boom sits symmetrically in the water, allowing for easy
maneuver and for facing the oil slick from either side. Inflation of
the boom is quick and efficient thanks to the air valve and the
use of an air blower.
The boom is equipped with inflatable buoyancy chambers with

LAMOR LAN 2200 NEOPRENE AUTO BOOM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Lamor neoprene auto boom 2200 has been developed to

provide a safe, quick and efficient means of oil recovery
equipment. It is manufactured from high tensile fabrics that
guarantee durability and stability.
The Lamor boom can operate in rough seas and strong currents
and has good wave performance. It can be deployed at a rate of
up to 15 meters per minute. All buoyancy chambers are inflated
from a single air source without the need to stop to open or shut
valves to inflate each chamber individually, which contributes to
the rapid deployment of the boom. The boom can be easily
deflated and retrieved onto a storage reel.
As the boom is deployed from the storage reel it is automatically

inflated from a single low pressure air source attached to the end
of the boom. The inflation is made at the outer end of the boom.
Upon inflation the internal design automatically separates the
79
floatation chambers and each individual buoyancy chamber is
isolated.
In the event that one air chamber becomes damaged or deflated,

adjacent chambers will not be affected and will remain inflated. A
layer of closed cell foam provides additional floatation for positive
reserve buoyancy on each chamber.
The deployment of the boom requires only one operator at the

reel.

MARKLEEN UNIBOOM X-1900 SPI

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Uniboom X-1900 is a single point inflation (SPI) oil boom

designed for open waters and offshore application. The boom is
designed for wave heights up to 5 m. The Uniboom X-1900
barrier is self-inflating from one single base position. By using a
special compressed air inflation system, the work and time
necessary for deployment and subsequent collection are greatly
reduced.
The inflation of the Uniboom X-1900 is automatic and is carried

out by a hydraulic air compressor or the ship’s compressed air
supply line. The boom has three separate air filling systems to
inflate the freeboard which make the air filling fail-proof. The
two primary systems are in the form of spiral that are
pressurised with air while the barrier is still on the reel. During
deployment, the spiral expands the freeboard as soon as the
barrier leaves the hydraulic reel. This sudden expansion
produces the entry of air from the atmosphere into the barrier
81
chambers and, when the barrier reaches the water, these
chambers are sealed.
The X-1900 is equipped with two independent spirals and with a

secondary inflation system that can be used to inflate the
barrier’s air chambers if necessary, thus enabling deployment of
the barrier during long periods in rough seas.
Various transversal partitions divide each barrier into 5 meter

chambers and the spiral is inflated from several points. This
creates sections that are independent of each other to ensure
speed during deployment and safety during operation.
• Single point inflation boom
• Three separate air filling systems
• Automatic inflation from one single air source

NORLENSE NO-450-S BOOM SPI

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NorLense NO-450-S oil containment boom is a single point

inflation boom. Due to the automatic inflation of the boom, no
crew members are required to stand by the winder during
deployment and recovery, which increases safety of operations.
In addition, since the boom is self-inflated no air valves are used,
thus eliminating the risk of bursting flotation elements due to the
temperature rise.
The NorLense boom is manufactured as a continuous tube, 400

meters long, and has been designed for quick response with the
minimum of manpower requirements. The boom inflates
automatically and up to 400 meters can be deployed in 10 to 20
minutes, while the retrieval of the boom can take approximately
40 minutes. In case the boom is deployed from the main vessel,
only one operator is required. Rapid mobilisation is thus possible
even when the vessel is carrying cargo on deck.
83
Due to its size and crew requirements during deployment,
operation and hauling, the boom can be stored permanently and
used on board most types of vessels. The space required on
board is at a minimum as the boom is deployed directly from the
reel over the side of the ship.
The NorLense offshore boom is made to meet rough weather

conditions on open sea. The construction of the boom with no
longitudinal stiff elements gives very good wave conformity.
The boom systems are provided with ASTM adapters so that the
booms can be, if required, easily connected to standard booms
used in all the coastal states.

VIKOMA HI-SPRINT 2000 BOOM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Vikoma Hi-sprint 2000 is a single point inflation (SPI) heavy

duty boom. The boom is made from vulcanised, reinforced,
double-faced neoprene, thus ensuring an all-weather, flexible,
high integrity boom.
The boom is inflated from a single point at one end of the cuff
tube. This tube is vulcanised along the top of the full length of
the boom, and inflates each bulkhead through a non-return valve.
This allows for the rapid deployment and requires a small
footprint on board or dockside. The inflation is made at the outer
end of the boom.
The boom is designed as a single outer tube with internal equally

spaced bulkheads every 3-5 meters to form independent
chambers. These are completely sealed and in the event of
damage to any one chamber, the boom’s integrity and ability to
contain oil are retained. The boom’s continuous cylindrical shape
87
coupled with low air inflation pressure enhances flexibility and
inhibits the formation of vortices, thereby discouraging oil loss
under the boom. After recovery, the boom can be easily cleaned
with normal detergents and pressure washers.
The interface between the boom material and the marine grade
aluminium connecting plate is achieved without puncturing the
material, which ensures boom integrity. The Vikoma Hi-sprint
boom is manufactured in heavy duty fabric impregnated with
special neoprene rubber with hypalon external skin, giving good
puncture, oil, chemical abrasion and ultraviolet (sunlight)
resistance.

DESMI TARANTULA SKIMMER

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Desmi Tarantula skimmer system is a high capacity offshore

skimmer with thrusters. The skimmer is fitted with two Desmi
positive displacement Archimedes screw (PDAS) pumps DOP-
250 DUAL. It works efficiently in waves up to 3 meters.
The skimmer also has a disc/brush skimmer head.
The Tarantula skimmer has two thrusters to secure the best

recovery position in the floating containment boom. The
thrusters are hydraulically driven and controlled from the
remote control box.
The skimmer is fitted with a flotation system to provide the

necessary buoyancy. A discharge hose connects the skimmer to
the storage tank. The hoses will not affect the buoyancy of the
skimmer as they are equipped with their own floats.
91
PUMPS
Using two Desmi positive displacement Archimedes screw

(PDAS) pumps in vertical design, type DOP-250 DUAL and with
total pumping capacity of 250 m3/h, the skimmer is able to
efficiently recover light as well as heavy oil, also when mixed
with debris normally found in connection with oil spills. The
hydraulic power to the skimmer pumps is supplied through
hydraulic hoses connected to the power supply or remote
control box.
• High capacity offshore skimmer
• Two PDAS pumps, total capacity 250 m3/h

DESMI TARANTULA SKIMMER

WEIR SKIMMER
The self-adjusting weir lip is capable of recovering a wide range of

oils even with high viscosities. The level of the weir is controlled by
the pumping rate.
As the weir floats on the internal contents of the hopper it lowers
itself when the hopper is emptied by the pumps, thus increasing
the skimming depth. The weir is free to follow the wave
movements independent of the position of the skimmer body.
DISC/BRUSH CASSETTE SKIMMER HEAD
The disc/brush cassette skimmer head is designed to recover heavy

viscous oils. The pick-up rate depends on the viscosity and
thickness of the oil layer. In general the pick-up rates are
increasing concurrently with viscosity, oil layer thickness and
speed.
The main frame is constructed from marine grade aluminium

incorporating oil collection sump and mounting for disc/brush drive
motors. The water content of the picked-up product can be very
low, but tends to increase with increased speed. Shift from disc
operation to brush operation is easily done.
Rigid heavy-duty (anti-static) plastic discs are used in order to

reduce weight and simplify replacement and scraping. The
rectangular twin bank format ensures full contact with the oil and
offers simplicity of drive and disc replacement.

DESMI TERMINATOR SKIMMER

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Desmi Terminator recovers all types of oil, including heavy oil
and emulsions. The positive displacement screw pump installed in
the skimmer can pump water and high viscosity oil at the same
high capacity and will not emulsify the two during pumping.
The skimmer is fitted with a flotation system to provide the

necessary buoyancy. The removable floats on the skimmer allow
that the skimmer is suspended from a crane if rapid response is
required. A discharge hose connects the skimmer to the storage
tank. The hoses do not affect the buoyancy of the skimmer, as
they are equipped with their own floats.
WEIR MODULE
The self-adjusting weir lip, which is mounted on the hopper,

controlled by the pumping rate, enables the skimmer to handle
products with very high viscosities even when contaminated with
debris normally found in connection with oil spills.
PUMP 93
The Terminator offshore skimmer incorporates the Desmi DOP-
250 pump that has a maximum capacity of 125 m3/h and can
develop discharge pressures up to 10 bar.
HOSE WINDER
The hose winder is designed to store hydraulic and oil transfer

hoses. The winder is hand-operated and produced of sea water
resistant aluminium.
The frame is equipped with lifting points and ISO corners. The
storage capacity of the winder is 100 meters of hydraulic hoses
and 50 meters of oil transfer hose.

FOILEX TDS 250 OCEAN WEIR SKIMMER

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Foilex TDS (Twin Disc Screw) 250 Ocean skimmer is a high
performance weir skimmer for use in large oil spills and heavy duty
offshore operations. It handles all types of oil, from light diesel fuel
to heavy oil mixed with debris, and can easily be converted to a
high capacity transfer- or off-loading pump. The skimmer system
consists of the TDS 250 skimmer pump, a flotation frame, a hose
package, a hose reel and a remote control.
The main part of the skimmer system is the hydraulic driven TDS
250 pump unit. Special cutting knives are fitted in both inlet and
outlet end of the pump. The skimmer is also equipped with two
hydraulic thrusters allowing the operator to manoeuver the system
to where oil is most heavily concentrated.
The skimmer unit is powered by a diesel driven hydraulic power

pack via hydraulic hoses. Recovered oil is discharged from the
skimmer up to the collecting tank through the 6” discharge hose. All
hoses can be stored on the hose reel and they are easy to handle
with the double wheels system. 95
WEIR MODULE
By placing the pump unit vertically in the floating frame and then
fitting it to the inlet flange, the pump is converted to an effective
weir skimmer. The principle of function for the skimmer/pump is to
work just below the liquid surface and skim the oil through its inlet
hopper and then pump the oil up through the discharge hose to the
storage tank concerned. The hopper is designed so that its upper
edge is always adjusted parallel to the oil layer.
The distance to the oil surface is half automatically adjusted through

the speed of the pump, as the hopper’s float ring always
endeavours to balance the incoming stream of oil with the outgoing
quantity of pumped oil. The capacity of the skimmer therefore
varies depending on the thickness of the oil layer.
• One PDAS Twin Disc Screw pump, capacity 140 m3/h
• Weir skimmer module with cutting knives

RADAR (X or S band)
The Consilium Selux has been tested with antennas 20 meters long
(from transceiver to the antenna pedestal), taking into account that
transmitted/received power is halved for every 10 ms added.
The use of an S-band transceiver is the optimal choice to reduce rain

clutter reflections and increase long range detection. Longer antennas
for X-band are less susceptible to rain and sea clutter. Long
transmission lines, coaxial cables for S-band and waveguide for X-band
down mast transceiver can affect the radar performance.
Usually the contradictory specifications are solved with installation of

more than one antenna, for example one at 30 meters for long range
detection and one at 20 meters for optimal detection of low intensity
echoes in sea clutter.

MIROS OIL SLICK DETECTION SYSTEM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Miros oil slick detection (OSD) system is a ship borne

remote sensing system for oil spill detection and surveillance.
It processes radar images from an X-band navigation radar to
give real time oil spill surveillance data. Onboard an oil
recovery vessel, the system provides continuous oil spill
detection during emergency response operations. The Miros
OSD system can work both as a stand alone system together
with a hand-held IR-camera, or as part of a complex remote
sensing network.
The system is designed and manufactured to comply with

classification society’s for operation in hazardous area Zone 2,
corresponding to the deck area of an oil recovery vessel
under oil recovery operations.
Miros OSD can ensure continuous oil spill detection in sea-

states Beaufort 2-6 independent of visibility and light
conditions. The system has the ability to detect oil spills in
complete darkness enabling 24 hours oil recovery operation.
It utilizes raw data from a standard X-band navigation radar 115
to perform complex digital processing and tactical
presentation.
In order to perform surveillance, the vessel establishes a

search pattern of the suspected oil spill area. The search grid
is typically one nautical mile, well within the reliable detection
range of the Miros OSD system. Then Miros OSD provides
automatic oil detection and images processed to ease
detection of oil by visual inspection.
When an oil slick is detected, the vessel surveys the slick by

the use of GPS-positioning, a hand-held infrared camera (in
darkness) or visual color assessment (in daylight), identifying
areas of combatable oil thickness. Usually, the part of the
slick containing combatable oil is located in the front
(downwind) end of the slick. The recovery vessel then
manoeuvers its oil recovery equipment using the Miros OSD
tactical navigation display.

MIROS WAVEX SYSTEM
To identify an oil spill, the MIROS oil spill detection system (OSD)
uses advanced image-processing algorithms on radar images
extracted by the Miros Wavex system, which also must be present
and operational when the OSD system is in use. In addition to oil
spill display information the system displays as well the wave, wind
and current parameters. The Miros OSD is based on the fact that
areas covered by oil will reflect less microwave power due to
dampening of the sea surface capillary waves. Areas containing oil
will be shown as dark areas in the radar sea surface images.
The Wavex system measures surface wave parameters on the basis

of digitized sea clutter images provided by standard navigational X-
band (3 cm) marine radar. Since “a copy” of the raw radar signal is
used, the Wavex system does not interfere or affect the radar
signals to the navigation radar display. By collecting sea clutter
data in “sets of images” during a defined time period, the system
performs its parameter calculations.
HARDWARE
The Miros OSD system hardware comprises the following

components:
• A dedicated, type approved maritime computer with a built-in

Miros Wavex Special Purpose Radar Data Acquisition Board
• A flat-screen LCD monitor with night vision dimming functionality
• A buffer amplifier and radar interface box
• A Gyro compass interface
• A GPS interface
• A Wind sensor interface

SEADARQ OIL SLICK DETECTION SYSTEM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SeaDarQ system processes data from sea surface acquired

from conventional X-band radar in order to detect and monitor
oil spills. The system is able to handle all the radar data, mix it
with information from other sensors and store it in real time on
disc or RAM. This gives the possibility to measure and process
radar images in real time.
The platform is based on a Microsoft environment and all kinds

of connections to the system are possible. Network support
offers functionality control on a distance and interchange of data
with other platforms.
The images are displaced in layers. Layers can be switched on

and off. One layer can be a map, the next layer can be the radar
image, a current or an oil spill etc. The colours and transparency
between the layers can be modified.
The SeaDarQ system consists of the following main

117
components:
• Radar X-band
• Antenna 8 feet
• Interface kit
• Monitors
• Junction box
The hardware part is made up of a computer with an interface

that receives the signal from an X band radar. The data is
processed by the computer and presented to the user on a
standard 15” TFT screen. The system is completed with the
associated radar and antenna. The interaction of the operator
with the system is through a standard keyboard and mouse.
