Patent
·
OSTI ID:5979574
An inflatable barrier for oil spilled on water consists of an air chamber and a water chamber which when inflated gives a figure-of-eight cross section. In order to facilitate laying, there is a pilot air tube attached to the air chamber preferably 1/500 the cross-sectional area of the air chamber. The pilot air tube is quickly inflated and prevents sinking or twisting of the barrier prior to inflation of the air and water chambers.
