Rubber boom barriers are devices that use submerged floats with skirts to contain and prevent the spread of surface oil, pollutants, and underwater cyanobacteria. They are commonly used to block the spread of oil slicks in marine and port spill incidents and to prevent the proliferation of cyanobacteria in lakes. Composed of floats, skirts, tension bands, weight chains, and anchoring components, they are anchored to the surface and surrounding underwater areas of the oil or polluted water to be contained. They are available in various types such as oceanic, lake, and port models, each with its own set of technical specifications.

Basic Structure: A rubber boom used to stabilize floating on the water surface, preventing oil spill dispersion in water bodies, reducing oil spill area, transferring oil spills and floating debris, and protecting the aquatic environment. There are many types of rubber booms with various forms. However, their basic structure consists of buoyant bodies, skirts, tension bands, ballasts, and connectors.

Buoyancy Module: The part that provides buoyancy for the rubber containment. Its function is to utilize air or buoyancy materials to supply buoyancy to the rubber containment, allowing it to float on the water surface. The buoyancy module can be placed either inside or outside the rubber containment surface.

Skirt: Refers to the continuous part below the boom, which serves to prevent or reduce oil from escaping beneath the boom.

Tension band: A long component (chain, belt) that can withstand horizontal tensile forces applied to a rubber berm. It is primarily used to bear the pull generated by wind, waves, tidal currents, and towing.

Ballast: Weight used to allow the boom to hang down and improve its performance, keeping the rubber boom in an ideal state in water. Typically made of steel or lead materials, or utilizing water as the ballast.

Fitting: A device permanently attached to the boom, used for connecting each section of the boom or other auxiliary facilities.
