Slickbar Develops New

Boom Design

Slickbar of Seymour, Conn., has developed a new oil boom design: the Slickbar Mk 16 Heavy Duty

Deployable Oil Boom, a boom that is permanently stored in the water until needed.

The Mk 16 combines the durabil- ity and longevity of the rugged

Slickbar Mk 8 skirt belting with the

Mk 10's solid molded polyethylene foam floats. It is designed for rapid response and/or frequent deploy- ment around vessels.

The boom's skirt belting is avail- able in three styles: lightweight ure- thane, heavy weight urethane, and heavyweight PVC. The Mk 16 oil boom has ASTM F-962 standard end connectors, anodized for salt water.

Haz-Mat "Rubberizes"

Spills For Disposal

Rubberizer, from Haz-Mat Re- sponse Technologies, Inc., turns fu- els, oils and chlorinated solvents into a rubber-like solid for simple disposal. Available in booms, pil- lows and particulate forms, the prod- uct is used by major response com- panies such as Foss Environmental to clean up operational spills, or at the tail end of large spills — and has, in fact, been used by Foss on several spills in the past year. In addition to deck, harbor and at-sea spill re- sponse, the product also has many other applications.

The EPA recognizes Rubberizer as a true sorbent. Licensed in the state of California and approved for incineration and landfill disposal in the U.S., Rubberizer is carried by major distributors worldwide.

Marshall Branson Delivers

Response Vessels To S. Korea

Marshall Branson Marine (MBM) has completed another two rapid response vessels for use in the South

Korean oil industry. One MBM

Traktakat 150 oil skimming vessel, the Yukong Green No. 1, and one

MBM Traktakat 140 boom deploy- ment vessel, the Yukong Green No. 2, were produced by MBM in asso- ciation with Ro-Clean International

AS of Denmark. Yukong Oil Refin- ery commissioned the vessels in Sep- tember, which on completion will be stationed at the Ulsan complex in

South Korea.

A similar pair of vessels was de- livered to the Honam Oil Refinery in

Yosu, South Korea, last September.

The Honam and Yukong oil refiner- ies are reportedly the largest refin- eries in South Korea.

The Yukong Green No. 1 is pow- ered by twin Cummins 6BTA5.9M1 marine diesel engines developing 250 hp at 2,600 rpm, driving twin four- bladed Aquaquad propellers through

Twin Disc MG5061 1.5:1 ratio gear- boxes with trolling valves. The en- gine controls have been modified to prevent damage occurring to the gearboxes when the trolling valves are engaged. The combination of propulsion units and sterngear re- sults in a speed of 10 knots when loaded.

Bohus Invest Launches

Walboom 450 At Conference

Bohus Invest launched its newest product at the International Oil Spill

Conference at the Long Beach Con- vention Center recently. "The Walboom 450 is our most recent product," said Christopher

Hassleback, president and CEO of

Bohus Invest International. "Among the key features of the Walboom 450 is the self-expanding air cushion, with its air displacement system, preventing air from escaping during service. [The combination of] a con- struction incorporating a polyure- thane compound and PVS fabric which ensures strength and dura- bility for tough inshore conditions makes the Walboom 450 an indis- pensable product on the market."

Bohus Invest also offers the

Walosep WM oil skimmer, the small- est of the Walosep skimmer line.

Developed mainly for light and me- dium oils, the Walosep's interaction
