Abstract: A method for removing hydrocarbons from a body of water using an agitating, sucking, microbe and expelling boom is described herein. The method can include attaching the boom to a vessel and disposing the boom in the water. The method can include flowing air into a tubular of the boom to agitate material on the bed. A vacuum pressure can be provided to another tubular of the boom to flow the material to a separator. The separator can separate the hydrocarbons from the material. The method can include flowing microbes and air proximate the bed to remove hydrocarbons and to provide oxygen. The method can include attaching hoses to each tubular and to a distribution manifold, forming an ASME conduit. The ASME conduit can be sunk to the bed while the boom floats at a surface of the body of water.
