SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEPLOYMENT OF INFLATABLE BARRIER FOR RETENTION OF MATERIAL FLOATING ON FLUID SURFACE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC E02B15/06 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to slick bars. Claimed system comprises the inflatable barrier (50) wound of the drum (36) and inflation gas source (12) to feed the compressed gas in the wound barrier at the point corresponding to the last section of inflatable barrier. Besides, the gas source (12) actuates the drum (36). The system is equipped with at least one inflation gas feed hose (16) for feed of compressed gas from the source to inflate the barrier (50) developed on water surface. Claimed system comprises the continuous boom (50) wound on the drum (36) mounted at the vessel and inflation gas source (17) to force compressed gas into the boom at preset pressure, the boom being wound on the drum at the point aligned, mainly, with inflatable barrier last section. This system is provided with the drum drive power source to unwind the boom therefrom when necessary and the boom inflator (17) to inflate the sections when every section escapes from the drum (36). Claimed process comprises the application of inflatable barrier (50) wound on the drum (36) and inflation gas source (12) for feed of compressed gas into the barrier (50) wound on the drum (36) at the point aligned with the inflatable barrier last section to actuate the drum (36). Gas is fed at preset pressure into inflatable barrier (50) to be unwound from the drum and deployed on fluid surface.

EFFECT: fast deployment and inflation, adequate control over deployment direction.
