Bubble curtain applications
Preserving our marine environment: the role of bubble curtains
From oceans to rivers, water is a cornerstone of our environment, making its preservation essential for a sustainable future. Oceans, the largest ecosystems on Earth, play a crucial role in our lives. They produce most of the oxygen we breathe, absorb carbon dioxide and heat from the atmosphere, and regulate our climate. Additionally, oceans harbor millions of (undiscovered) species and provide food and livelihoods for billions of people.
With the rise in offshore activities and construction projects, protecting our marine environment has become increasingly important. One innovative solution that has gained popularity is the bubble curtain. But what exactly are bubble curtains? What types exist? And how does Atlas Copco Rental meet the growing demand for these systems with its electric-driven and efficient diesel-driven certified 100% oil-free air compressors?

Which applications benefit from a bubble curtain?
A lot of applications benefit from the innovative use of bubble curtains, including:
Minimizing the impact of constructing sustainable power sources
Offshore wind power is one of the fastest-growing sources of sustainable, renewable energy. However, constructing wind turbines remains a significant challenge, requiring stable foundations to withstand extreme weather and strong currents. Underwater noise mitigation safeguards marine life during the construction of offshore windfarms.
Separating canal water: salt versus fresh
The bubble curtain prevents the mixing of saltwater and freshwater by ensuring that only saltwater from the lower layer flows into the lock when the gate is opened, keeping the freshwater in the upper layer distinct. When the lock on the opposite side is opened, the saltwater flows out, and the chamber is replenished with freshwater. Without a bubble curtain, virtually all the freshwater in the lock chamber would quickly mix with saltwater.
Floating waste collector
The bubble curtain acts as a floating waste barrier, helping to protect our waterways by accumulating and collecting waste in rivers and channels.
Why is oil-free air needed for bubble curtain projects?
