[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Worsening of the weather and sea conditions preclude the use of standard skimmer and barrier. In situations like this oil spill response can only be achieved with offshore special equipment. KOSEQ is inventor of ”sweeping arms” which being used with success against oil spills. Different and compact modes are available.  Sweeping arms have became  a standard equipment for oil spill response vessels.

What is a rigid sweeping arm?

It is a specially designed durable floating steel construction for oil recovery on water.

How does a rigid sweeping arm function?

The sweeping arm is used dynamically by direct recovery going through the oil slick, instead of containing the oil first like a boom/skimmer system. When going through the oil slick, the oil is guided over an adjustable weir into the oil collection chamber from where its pumped to the storage tanks in the vessel.

What are the advantages?

  • Controlled by only one operator.
  • Safe to use.
  • Short ‘get-in-action time.
  • No other vessels are required.
