The global company DESMI has introduced a new oil spill recovery product, RO-Vane. The new aquatic device has been designed to replace the functions of a second vessel, making cleaning up oil spills using a single vessel far easier, faster and more cost-effective.
Christened 'DESMI RO-Vane', the new single-vessel oil spill recovery device has been eagerly anticipated by DESMI’s customers. In fact, RO-Vane can turn single-vessel oil spill recovery from a last-resort, difficult-to-handle alternative into the first choice for a wide range of spill situations. And, together with other products in DESMI’s oil spill recovery portfolio, it boasts a long list of advantages to back such a claim.
Deploying and coordinating two vessels to operate an oil spill recovery boom between them is more expensive and logistically challenging than one. However, although single-vessel solutions have been in existence for some years, their use has been severely limited by a number of problems – mostly associated with the size, weight and rigidity of the equipment, as well as the comparatively slow speed at which it can be operated.
DESMI’s new solution is different. By combining RO-Vane with two other, well-proven products, DESMI SpeedSweep boom and DESMI RO-Skim, the company has managed to create a system that makes cleaning up oil spills using a single vessel far easier, faster and more cost-effective.
