Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011046449A1] A device is described for a boom (1 ) for collection of floating and/or solid polluting material from a sea surface, comprising an extended cloth (10) with floating elements (12) and also struts (20) that can hold the boom/cloth (10) in a mainly upright position in the sea, and where the cloth (10), at its lower end, further comprises weight elements to hold the boom down in the sea. The boom is characterised in that, in the longitudinal direction of the cloth (10), in the area of the cloth which is intended to be adjoining the surface of the water, a collection pocket (30) for the polluting materials that are collected from the whole length of the boom (10) is located, and the boom cloth also comprises one or more openings (32) that lead into said pockets. A method and different applications of the device are also described.
