SPRAYARMS
Ayles Fernie supply a full range of dispersant spray arms to suit the installation and operating requirements.
In dispersant application, it is important that the system design (pump unit and spray arms) is properly integrated to ensure that the spray nozzle performance is matched to the pump output. In addition, the system should provide an adequate range of application rates so that the operator is able to cope with a wide variety of oil spill conditions.
It is the combination of dispersant flow rate and spray pattern which determines the system performance and Ayles Fernie systems have been designed to provide optimum performance which is consistent with modern dispersant capabilities and oil spill response methods.
Standard spray arms are of a demountable design so that they can be rigged quickly and de-rigged & stored easily when not in use. Spray arm details are available on the Product Datasheets which are accessed via the Product Pages. Standard Spray arms are supplied in stainless steel and aluminium in lengths from 3 to 8m in length.
All spray arm sets are supplied complete with all necessary fittings including hoses, nozzles, topping wires, fore/aft stays and deck fittings. In particular, nozzles are carefully matched to the pump output performance such that flow rates and pressures at the nozzles provide the appropriate droplet size for optimum dispersant performance.
