Fire Boom FIRE BOOM DEVELOPMENT

Oil spill burning.Elastec/American Marine is the largest manufacturer of oil spill equipment in the United States providing equipment to more than 40 countries around the world. Elastec/American Marine is also a leader in the design and manufacture of fire boom. In the mid 1980's we designed the first commercial Fireboom available capable of containing burning oil at 2000° F. This was the first (practical and successful) boom that allowed in-situ burning of oil spills on water. With more than decade of experience, Elastec/American Marine is the only company in the world with fire boom that has been used successfully during actual, at sea, in-situ burns of crude oil. The burns, include a test burn off the coast of Spitsbergen, Norway (1988), spillage from Exxon Valdez (1989) involvement with experimental burns off Newfoundland, Canada (1993) United Kingdom Southampton test burn (1996). To date we have sold more 37,000 feet of fireboom to customers around the world.
