ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a continuous containment barrier comprising a plurality of compartmentalized inflatable chambers having, attached to the bottom thereof, an impermeable keel which stabilizes the containment barrier and assists in containment of the spilled petroleum product even under turbulent conditions. Extending below the keel is an elongate skirt which has a plurality of apertures therein that provide the necessary water pressure relief while still maintaining the necessary strength for successful containment of a spilled petroleum product. The barrier is designed to develop a desired height of petroleum product floating on an aqueous environment so that efficient recovery can occur. The invention additionally relates to apparatus for continuously manufacturing, inflating, and ballasting a custom length containment barrier so that virtually any petroleum spill can be completely enclosed by the containment barrier, and further relates to apparatus for positively controlling the containment and recovery of the petroleum contained therein. The invention also relates to a method for recovering a petroleum product floating on water.
