A Revolutionary Tool for Oil Spill Response
The Fire Gate, engineered and built by Crucial Inc., represents a breakthrough in burning technology.
Designed to operate seamlessly with containment booms, this floating, radio-controlled valve enables
safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible oil spill cleanup without the need for fireproof booms.
How It Works
Precision Engineering by Crucial Inc.
Built from concept to construction by Crucial Inc.’s expert team, the Fire Gate is designed to meet real-world oil spill challenges.
Strategic Positioning
Deployed at the rear of a U-shaped containment boom, the Fire Gate collects surface oil as it is towed across the water..
Controlled Release System
Once an optimal volume of oil is gathered, Crucial’s radio-controlled valve system opens the Fire Gate’s doors gradually to release the oil into a narrow, steady stream.
Efficient In-Situ Burning
The controlled oil flow is ignited, and due to water currents and pressure differentials, the burn remains in a clean, straight line—eliminating the need for costly fire-resistant boom.
Designed With Purpose
The Fire Gate isn’t just innovative—it’s impactful. It reflects Crucial Inc.’s ongoing commitment to:
Safer spill response operations
Reducing environmental damage
Improving cleanup efficiency
Pioneering technologies that eliminate outdated or hazardous practices
Key Features:
