Elastec

With 75 years of combined manufacturing experience, Elastec (Carmi and Fairfield, Illinois) and its American Marine division (Cocoa, Florida) design, develop, and distribute environmental products such as oil spill response equipment, floating containment booms and barriers, and portable incinerators in 155 countries. Elastec revolutionized oil spill recovery technology with the invention of the drum skimmer in 1990. Since then, the company has developed a broad portfolio of environmental cleanup products: oil skimmers, oil boom, boom reels, Hydro-Fire™ Boom, American Fireboom, BoomVaneTM, work boats, SmartAsh, MediBurn, and Drug Terminator incinerators, turbidity curtains, Brute Boom, and trash/debris devices to keep our world clean. Elastec's American Fireboom and Hydro-Fire® Boom systems were used extensively in the Deepwater Horizon incident for the insitu burning (ISB) of oil in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Elastec's Hydro-Fire® Boom holds the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the "Longest Continuous Burn of Oil Spilled at Sea" for its performance during the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Elastec's American Marine division in Florida has been manufacturing floating booms, barriers, baffles, and turbidity curtains since 1967 to protect sensitive marine habitats from silt and sediment pollution, as well as to control floating trash, debris, and invasive aquatic weeds in our waterways, rivers, and oceans.
