VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE |

1. Example – Aquaflex foam is fabricated into 6-foot strips that are in mesh netting. These booms can be connected end-to-end and positioned behind containment booms to absorb oil that has breached the containment. 2. Example – Aquaflex foam is fabricated into 1/4” x 16” x 18” pads that can be deployed by placing on an oil patch to absorb the oil from the water surface. 3. Example – Aquaflex foam can be cut into small cubes such as 1” cubes and contained in a net or mesh tube to create a very high surface area absorbent boom. 4. Example – Aquaflex foam can be fabricated into mega pads of 1/4” x 1 foot x 6 foot sections to be connected on the back of a containment boom system to absorb oil which flows over the boom, especially in marsh areas. 5. Example – Aquaflex foam can be fabricated into multiple mops that are strung between support posts at the shoreline to remove oil from the surf. |
