ABSTRACT:
Provided in accordance with the present invention, is a preferred embodiment of a boom for use in or containing, concentrating, and burning oil on the surface of a body of water. The boom includes a series of flotation sections, having an average density substantially less than that of water for providing flotation. The boom also includes a water distribution system at least partially surrounding one or more flotation sections. The water distribution system includes material substantially permeable to the water, for receiving, absorbing, and distribution of the water for heat protection. The boom additionally includes a pressurized fluid system/structure for placing the water distribution system in fluid communication with a supply of pressurized water. The pressurized fluid system includes at least one fluid conduit, extending for substantially the length of the boom. The conduit includes an end adapted for connecting to an external source of pressurized water. In operation, the conduit delivers the water along the boom's length, to the water distribution system.
