High speed sweep systems, designed to separate the contained oil from the water and retain the oil within the separator.

NOFI Current Buster technology represents a revolution in oil spill containment systems.
It has the unique ability to collect and concentrate spilled oil in waters exposed to currents or when towed at high speed. What sets the NOFI Current Buster system apart from other high-velocity oil booms is the built-in separator.

The system is designed to separate the contained oil from the water and retain the oil within the separator. The process results in a thicker layer of oil which in turn offers great advantages when pumping the collected oil aboard ships or storage tanks. NOFI Current Buster has demonstrated in real-life conditions that it is capable of sweeping, containing and separating oil from seawater at towing speeds of up to 5 knots.

Up to 48 systems were in operation during the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. NOFI Current Buster can be used in conjunction with a BoomVane allowing the user to operate as a single-vessel sweep system. This trailer configuration provides the operator with many advantages, such as reduced response time, increased efficiency due to a stable configuration, improved operating and safety conditions for the user, and reduced costs due to the use of a single vessel.
