A Air Bubble Barrier blockade is a new invention that can be used in a oil spill response as a ‘blockade’ or ‘barrier’ to prevent oil from entering a area to be protected. The Air Bubble Barrier works by releasing a wall of air bubbles 133 from below the water surface, usually from a Bubble Pipe system 137 and anchored on the floor of a body of water floor, so that the rising air bubbles 133 form a up-current which reverses or halts the surface current thereby preventing or slowing surface pollutants such as oil from entering a area, while also making skimming or suctioning easier and putting oxygen back into the water. |
