Product Use

Temporary floating storage for recovered oil in support of on-water skimming operations. Can also be used for storage of recovered oil on land when placed in a shallow pit for support. Two FCB-125's are intended to support each RDSS in a shuttle operation from the skimmer to staging/off-loading site.

 

Operational Considerations

Vessel operators need to exercise care in towing bladders by being aware of the draft and in maneuvering alongside piers. For discharge operation, a 3-inch hose is connected to lid along with hydraulic connections from power pack. The internal submersible pump discharges the bladder completely in approximately 45 minutes. Air inflatable chamber in nose for buoyancy.
