Oil spill equipment
Foru-Solution manufactures oil spill skimmers in the Netherlands. Our skimmers are the best in the world at cleaning up oil spills, also rough weather. They are robust, easy to deploy and provide a high recovery capacity and efficiency. Our simple weir type skimmer has no external moving parts, and can be operated by every skill level. It even self-adjusts without the use of a bellow.
They are reliable and can be acquired with matching ancillary products like a FORU power-pack, NorLense booms & bladders and Tideman work boats. Buying our products will ensure that you are ready to clean up any oil spill. Trough its high capacity the FORU can clean up the biggest and worst oil spills.
THE FORU SOLUTION
The FORU-70
The FORU-70 is the compact version of the FORU-340, specially designed for the
sensitive shallow parts of the Wadden Sea (UNESCO World Heritage) and thoroughly
tested in several oil types by the Norwegian Coastal Administration test center in Horten,
approved by DNV GL. Working at maximum speed the FORU takes in up to 70 m3 per
hour of the oil/water mixture. The toxic liquid will be pumped into a storage facility such
as a container, barge or bladder.

ANCILLARY OIL SPILL EQUIPMENT
Foru-Solution are working closely with NorLense booms and Tideman work boats to profide an all in one oil spill solution.
NorLense booms and bladders
NorLense is one of the world’s leading companies for development and manufacture of Oil Spill Emergency Equipment. The Emergency Response Market-products are developed for rough weather conditions and are based upon flexible materials and innovative technology.
High speed sweep system (Oil Trawl)
The Fast Current Boom System from NorLense is a containerized one-man-operated system with single point inflation of the boom part.
Offshore boom systems
NorLense offshore booms are made to meet rough weather conditions on open sea.
Coastal boom systems
The original single point inflated oil boom with automatic inflation for coastal use, NO-450-S and NO-600-S.
Harbour boom systems
These types of booms are manufactured with a freeboard containing expanded polystyrene.
Bladders
Norlense builds inflatable bladders from 5 to 50 m3 for portable storage of the oil.
Tideman work boats
Manufacturer of High Speed Indestructible Workboats. Made of HDPE sheets making it the toughest workboats available. Built to last. Made in Holland just like the FORU.
Custom made
Tideman boats are custom made for oil spill responce.
Super buoyancy – lighter then water
HDPE is lighter than water and that makes it extremely buoyant, even when submerged.
Zero corrosion – zero maintenance
Oxygen, salt and water have no effect on HDPE.
Resistance to marine growth – no anti fouling needed
With an HDPE hull you will never have to deal with marine growth: it just doesn’t stick.
Aggressive liquids? No harm done!
HDPE can hardly be affected by any aggressive oil spill liquids.
High impact resistance – not afraid of sharp rocks
HDPE is both tough and flexible thanks to its elastic properties.
Durability: 100% recyclable
HDPE can be 100% remelted and recycled in a new PE blend.
