Super Hi-SprintTM is a high integrity, single point inflation, rapid deployment boom, available in a range of sizes that comply to ASTM and US coastguard standards ranging from protected waters to open waters, as prescribed by the Oil Pollution Act 1990.

Material

Super Hi-SprintTM boom is manufactured from reinforced, double faced neoprene fabric. This results in a product that can operate in temperatures from -40oC to +90oC without any deterioration of the physical properties of the material. It is highly durable and has the lowest life cycle cost of any boom in its class. Additionally, it is very easy to clean, maintain and repair. All categories of Super Hi-SprintTMboom are also available in double thickness (HD- heavy duty) neoprene. This is typically used for longer deployments and the more abrasive environments.

Key features and benefits

• Incorporates a high pressure zip boom for unrivalled speed of deployment.
• Low pressure main chambers to allow for superior wave following characteristics.
• Requires fewer operators therefore saving on both cost and time of deployment.
• Rapid and easy deployment - with innovative single point inflation, 300 metres of boom can be deployed in a matter of minutes.
• The buoyancy tube has internal bulkheads every three to five metres to form independent chambers. These are completely sealed and in the event of damage to any one chamber, the boom's integrity and ability to contain oil is retained.
• The boom's continuous cylindrical shape, coupled with low air inflation pressure, enhances flexibility and produces a very responsive containment system.
• A high buoyancy to weight ratio gives unequalled wave following capability.
• Constructed from strong, flexible neoprene, the boom can operate in all climates and has a very long service life, with high resistance to abrasion and an excellent resistance to chemicals and environmental damage.

Bulkhead is a high integrity boom available in a range of sizes that comply to ASTM and US Coastguard standards ranging from protected waters to open water, as prescribed by the Oil Pollution Act 1990.

The 5027 Brake Caliper is the flag ship of the Kobelt die - cast brake caliper series. It combines all the latest technology in design and manufacture. Like all the foregoing calipers, it has patented features such as balancing links, adjustment shims to fit between the shoe and the shoe bearing and patented actuators. Again, its compact design makes it a very powerful brake caliper for its size. This brake caliper shares all its components parts, except for shoe and lever, with our Model 5024. As before, the air applied actuators have two supply ports per actuator. In most cases only one of these ports is needed to be connected to the control line

The diaphragm actuator is virtually friction free and is therefore extremely quick in response. In fact, even a 1/10 psi change in air pressure will make a noticeable difference to the braking torque. The maximum supply pressure to the caliper should not exceed 100 psi (6.9 bar). Our standard 2 x 4 series brake disc from 30 to 50 inches range can be used with this caliper..

The Cascade is an adjustable weir skimmer designed to be particularly effective in large oil spills when a high oil recovery rate is required. It is capable of handling a wide range of oil viscosities.

The system has a floating circular weir device with an on-board hydraulically driven positive displacement Pump. A remote control console allows the operator to optimise skimmer recovery by varying the pump speed and hydraulically adjusting the depth of the weir relative to the oil thickness.

Key features and benefits

• The fluid recovery rate of the Vikoma Cascade is up to 183m3/hr.
• The Pump is particularly adept at handling highly viscous fluids and solids of up to 30mm diameter. It has been proven to be highly efficient in aggressive environments and capable of long maintenance-free operation and dry running for protracted periods.
• The Cascade's arms are hinged and can be folded for transport or containerisation.
• Two Cascade skimmers meet a Tier 1 response requirement under OPA '90.
• The unique discharge outlet and hose float assembly, which reduces hose drag and ensures stability, means that the Cascade can operate very effectively from a vessel in a towed array at speeds of up to 2 knots.
• A 6 inch nominal bore discharge hole allows for the easy discharge of higher viscosity oils.

Vikoma designs and manufactures a wide range of diesel engined power packs for use with its oil spill response equipment. These are also available as stand-alone units for operation on other similar or related equipment. For specific requirements, Vikoma can offer its in-house expertise to design and manufacture bespoke assemblies.

When considering the most appropriate power pack for a particular application, there are a number of considerations to take into account, including:

• Power requirement - Vikoma manufactures a standard range of general power packs from 7HP to 180HP.
• Area of operation - Storage temperatures between -46oC and 71oC and operational temperatures between -32oC and 49oC and an altitude range of 0 - 3000m.
• Area of operation - Noise levels are increasingly a consideration with regard to rotating equipment operation. Vikoma can supply power packs which are water cooled, de-rated and are available with acoustic covers to meet these considerations.
• Starting method - There are a number of factors which can influence the method of starting. These include, but are not limited to, size, temperature, area of operation and costs. In this regard, Vikoma can offer hand, electric, spring and even hydraulic start methods to meet operation requirements.
• Area of operation - Careful consideration should be given as to whether the power pack will be used in a hazardous environment. As a minimum standard, Vikoma fits chalywn valves (over speed protection device) and exhaust spark arrestors. However, intrinsically safe, Zoned and ATEX designs are also available.
• Logistics - Vikoma gives careful consideration to its customers' logistical requirements. As such, power packs can be supplied on trolleys or trailers, skid mounted, in two-part designs, low level designs (airfreight), with single, tested lifting points (cranage and heli lifts) and with fork lift pockets.
• Operation - Power packs can be supplied with auto shut-down devices such as low level and high temperature engine and hydraulic oil sensors.
