Oil barrier - for confining floating oil slicks

Abstract

Abstract Oil barrier, esp. for confining oil slicks on water e.g. resulting from leakage from oil tankers, is able to float vertically on water and comprises >=2 mutually parallel parts each consisting of a row of parallel adjacent bars of the same length, held together by >=1 wire and made of a material which can float in water, as well as a series of spacer elements for maintaining the mutual spacing of the part barriers. The tie wires pref. run through bores in the bars perpendicular to the bar axes.
