The report presents the results of studies and tests of a pneumatic heavy duty oil containment system. Deployment is accomplished using large Coast Guard vessels or navy salvage ships. The design is intended for long deployment periods. The barrier design described uses a pneumatic curtain to contain the oil. The curtain air is provided by raft mounted compressors in juxtaposition to the submerged perforated pipe. (Author)
