    摘要: A bottom boom and method of use is disclosed for containing heavy or sinking oils which migrate on an underwater floor. The bottom boom is comprised of an upper wall, a lower wall that abuts an underwater floor, a support structure and a ballast section. The upper wall and lower wall when properly supported by support structure provides an upright barrier to guide or stop heavy non-floating oils on an underwater floor. The support structure is a series of chambers, longitudinally spaced between the upper and lower walls of the bottom boom, such that when each chamber is filled with water the chambers vertically support the upper wall at an angle above the lower wall and horizontally maintain the lower walls width thus forming said upright barrier. Additionally the chambers can be filled with air to expedite recovery of bottom boom from underwater floor.

    摘要: A Nonfloating Oil Fence Boom is disclosed for containing heavy or sinking oils which migrate on an underwater floor. The Non-Floating Oil (NFO) Fence Boom is comprised of a vertical section, a horizontal section that abuts an underwater floor, a buoyant section and a ballast section. The ballast causes the horizontal section to sink and form a seal with the underwater floor, the buoyant section in engineered to provide only enough buoyant force to maintain the vertical section in an upright perpendicular position while not breaking the horizontal sections seal with the underwater floor thus preventing heavy oils from passing below or beyond the fence.
