Abstract
A fireproof boom for containing flammable pollutants on water includes a flotation member, a heat-resistant water-sorbent material surrounding the flotation member and a protective fence surrounding the water-sorbent material. The flotation member is a series of cylindrical metal cans held end-to-end. The heat-resistant water-sorbent material draws water around the heat-sensitive flotation member, forming steam in the presence of flaming pollutant and allowing only the outer layer of heat-resistant material to become slightly singed. The protective fence surrounding the water-sorbent material is heavy steel wire woven in continuous spirals so that when the spirals are integrated with each other a diamond-shaped mesh is formed.
