One particular client has had this boom for nearly 7 years and it has been used several times in a spill response situation. They found it easy to clean afterwards with a jet wash as the FOB has got a very low maintenance requirements. Also, due to the high-quality product the boom will last for many more years to come.
Zwanny has found that the most popular types of FOB are the 500,750, 1100 used by their clients and asked for by others.
As the boom is easy to use with minimal manpower and can be deployed from a reel, boom rack, container or even smaller sections from the back of a pickup truck. The FOB does not require any inflation so problems with an inflator(i.e. no fuel, cannot find the inflator etc.) would not affect the use of the FOB.
The FOB incorporates reflectors supplemented by boom light pouches and chaffs for radar reflectors. The boom material is UV resistance and each section has got a number of 1m nylon woven handles on the boom to assist with boom retrieval.
