Arctic Range Proven Oil Spill Technology PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

The Arctic (pronounced arktik) The Arctic is a region located at the northernmost part of the Earth. The region consists of a vast, icecovered ocean, surrounded by treeless permafrost. The area can be defined as north of the Arctic Circle (66° 33’N), the approximate limit of the midnight sun and the polar night. The region can have an average temperature for the warmest month of July, of below -10°C or 14°F. The northernmost tree line roughly follows the isotherm at the boundary of this region. Much of this territory is considered subarctic and is a unique area among Earth’s ecosystems. The...

DESMI are renowned for the design and manufacture of the toughest oil spill recovery systems The first comprehensive assessment of oil and gas resources north of the Arctic Circle, carried out by geologists, revealed that underneath the ice, the region may contain as much as a fifth of the world’s undiscovered yet recoverable oil and natural gas reserves. This includes 90 billion barrels of oil, enough to supply the world for three years at current consumption rates and 1,670 trillion cubic feet of gas, which is equal to about a third of the world’s known gas reserves. DESMI Ro-Clean are...

PyroBoom™ ARCTIC Proven in the Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic Svalbard in Norway. The right Boom for controlled burning in the Arctic

Open the catalog to page 4

PyroBoom™ is an essential component of any Arctic oil spill response kit. Developed at the request of Exxon Production Research in 1982, PyroBoom™ has been proven in numerous test burns and operational trials, and most notably, in the response to the spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Together with the DESMI Ro-Clean ARCTIC equipment, PyroBoom™ is one of the few viable oil spill response techniques for the Arctic environment. It is logistically straightforward and, with adequate planning and training, rates as the fastest, least expensive and most complete oil removal method available today. This...

RO-BOOM ARCTIC Ro-Boom has become synonymous with containment around the world as the serious responder recognizes the host of qualities Ro-Boom brings to the oil spill arena. Not least is the heritage and proven operating performance of a system that has enjoyed continued success for over 30 years. During this time, the boom has undergone subtle but significant design changes to further enhance its operational footprint and maintain the pole position as the toughest, most durable and reliable boom system in the market today. To endorse this position DESMI Ro-Clean have introduced Ro-Boom...

RO-BOOM ARCTIC Ro-Boom ARCTIC builds on the subtlety of continued improvement in a product that is already the world’s leader Ro-Boom ARCTIC is available in various sizes up to 3200mm / 132 inches. There is no other manufacturer who can offer this size of a fully vulcanized neoprene/hypalon boom. The industry focus is shifting to offshore operations and hence it is important to have this size available. Ro-Boom ARCTIC has a modified warp and weft construction that adds over 15% to the tensile strength of the standard fabric making it the strongest material in its class. On a boom that is...

DESMI Ro-Clean has been designing, manufacturing and commissioning a wide range of recovery systems for various environments for over 30 years. These have included technologies such as weir, disc, brush, belt and the revolutionary brush rail found in the Giant Octopus. However, the design brief to develop a true ice skimmer created unique challenges which tested the DESMI Ro-Clean engineering department beyond traditional boundaries. After a three year programme developed in cooperation with SINTEF including some of the most demanding tests and simulations, DESMI Ro-Clean have pioneered a...

DESMI Arctic Skimmers Among many other skimmers in the market, the DESMI Sea-Mop has been successfully tested at Ohmset. The result of the test showed a very unique recovery efficiency. The headline of the test was: "Skimmer Tests in Drift Ice : Ice Month 2013 at Ohmsett” prepared for Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement Herndon, VA and prepared by SL Ross Environmental Research Limited Ottawa, ON and MAR, Inc. Leonardo, NJ August 2013 Text From Conclusion of the Test: In 30% concentration ice is not a significant impediment for most skimmers, although ice can interfere with the...

POWER PACKS ARCTIC DESMI Ro-Clean have been engineering a wide range of rugged diesel hydraulic power packs to suit all environments and operations. The units have been supplied with wheel or skid mountings and multiple flow controls to operate single or equipment packages. The power packs have even been classified to work in explosive atmospheres. However, the Arctic has raised many different challenges for operations, especially for internal combustion engines where the low temperatures can impact on the flow and physical characteristics of fluids we would normally take for granted. In...

RO-TANK ARCTIC Temporary storage is often overlooked and sometimes under-estimated in the real world. Options can include dedicated barges of various sizes and onboard ship tanks. Alternatively temporary, flexible storage tanks are available in tem-po-rary stor-age For a time only; not permanent, storing or being stored. A place or space for storing. 12 various forms but are often made of very thin materials. These are prone to physical, chemical and environmental damage and totally unsuitable for the Arctic regions.

RO-TANK ARCTIC The RO-TANK ARCTIC is the answer to flexible storage solutions in some of the world’s harshest environments. DESMI Ro-Clean have introduced a new range of highly durable and flexible, fluid storage tanks that can be used on sea or land. Called the Ro-Tank ARCTIC, they are manufactured from the same material as the Ro-Boom ARCTIC and offer an unequaled range of tough storage solutions specifically for the arduous Arctic conditions. Aside the high abrasion, tear, puncture and UV resistance, the material is fully vulcanized which out performs any weld or glue joint. The Ro-Tank...
