Advances in Latest Spill Response Technology for Offshore and High Risk Arctic and Ice Covered Waters
By Frands Jensen Vice President - DESMI Ro-Clean 1
The NEW Giant Octopus offshore brush skimmer with unique “Desmi -Y-Shaped” Orbit Design.
2
Orbit top view Circular approach Wide area of attack/ contact “Y�-shaped configuration of orbits Accumulation towards centre Brushes extended beyond floats (No restrictions) Patent pending
3
Exposed Orbit Module Brush banks driven by individual drive wheels Each Orbit has it’s own hydraulic drive motor
4
Knuckle supplied with brushes Knuckle with brush carriers grabbing the oil and feeding the skimmer pumps Able to run on double curved orbit
5
Cross section side view The circular approach along with the orbits accumulates the oil, increasing the oil layer towards the centre.

Speed Sweep Triple-boom configuration as tested with NOFO, Norway System speed at up to 2.8-3.2 knots without exceeding 1.0 knot in apex . 16
or in conjunction with new RO-Boom Speed Sweep On behalf of Exxon Production Research (EPR), AFTI and SL Ross did the first experimental work at Ohmsett back in 1998, and today the concept has today been fully improved and successful tested. Patent pending 17
