INTRODUCING THE FORU
The only serious oil spill equipment for any oil spill
We develop preventive measures against pollution of oceans, seas and lakes worldwide. This prevents subsequent damage to maritime flora and fauna, thus enabling us to pass it on in good condition to our future generations.
FUNCTIONS IN ROUGH WATER
The smart buoy design in combination with the position of the center of gravity, makes the FORU stick to the waves, maintaining its high efficiency
HIGH CAPACITY
The FORU can recover up to 340 m3/h (90,000 US GPH) with an oil recovery ratio of 75 – 100 percent
EASY TO OPERATE
The FORU can be operated with only little instruction.
The FORU systems are easy to maintain. Because of smart design only a few bolts need to be loosened for applying maintenance.
The FORU can be operated fail-safe in combination with our hydraulic power units

Total solution
We offer a total solution to clean up oil spills. Our total solution includes booms, bladders, power packs and of course one of our mechanical down-draft systems; designed for near shore, harbor, river, lake and offshore conditions. Our down-draft systems can be deployed and stored without assembly. The FORU system can be easily placed into the pocket of dynamic sweeping systems. At Foru-Solution we believe that oil spills must be recovered mechanically, dispersing oil does not remove the pollution from the marine environment.
Smart design
Our systems are designed to be easy to use, maintain and clean. Because of these features our down-draft systems have a high availability in case of an oil spill. Only little training is needed to teach your personnel how to work with our equipment. Due to smart engineering our down-draft systems are easy to disassemble and clean.
Robust system
The FORU down-draft systems are designed to function in rough waters. The smart designed buoy-shape makes the FORU stick to the waves and therefore makes it possible to operate the FORU in offshore conditions. Our systems are made of high grade materials and are 100% mechanical to withstand severe offshore conditions.
Oil spills occur, it is not if … but when.
FORU stands guard, ready to use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can debris get stuck in the FORU?
A set of debris handling measures have been taking to avoid the FORU systems from getting shut down as a results of debris.
Those measures conisists of an adjustable inlet opening and a pump that can handle debris up to 60mm
In the uncommon event of debris getting stuck in the FORU, the system can be dissassembled and assembled in no time.
Can the FORU handle waves higher than 2.5m?
In waves of over 2,5 meters the FORU-340 will still operate but it does affect the efficiency.
What are the effects of salty and humid environment on the FORU?
The effects of a salty and/or humid environment on our FORU systems are minimal to none. The FORU systems are made of marine grade materials to withstand the most severe offshore environments. Well performed cleaning and maintenance is obviously of utmost importance to ensure the life span of the FORU systems.
Foru-Solution offers a yearly maintenance program to ensure – and increase – the lifespan of the equipment.
Does the FORU also function at a lower capacities?
What happens with the efficiency and capacity when oil gets thicker and/or has to be pumped higher?
