Localization of oil products and crude oil spills Booms are the means of localization and liquidation of oil and oil products spills in water areas. Important functions of booms are: prevention of oil spreading on the water surface, reduction of oil product concentration to facilitate cleanup, and trawling (diversion) of oil away from environmentally sensitive areas. Barrier...
