ABSTRACT:
An oil boom for containing floating oil spills having an hose with a plurality of tubing members mounted to the periphery of the hose. Each tubing member has a nozzle assembly for directing an air jet stream against an oil spill along the top surface of the water. The oil boom is preferably connected to a tow line by a pair of connecting lines which are in a criss-cross pattern, allowing the hose to form a wave-like configuration so that the air hose may rise and fall with the movement of the surface of the water independent of the tow line.
