Clean technology investment firm Evok Innovations has unveiled a lightweight oil spill boom that its manufacturer, HARBO Technologies of Israel, said can be deployed in less than 15 minutes. T-Fence comprises a series of cartridges small enough to be carried as luggage on a commercial plane, and is two-thirds lighter than traditional booms. At a recent refinery incident in California, 82 ft of T-Fence was deployed by two employees in less than two hours, successfully containing the oil spill, HARBO said.
