Absorbent Floating Boom Oil & Fuel 3 Metres 200mm (4 Pack)

The Floating Oil & Fuel Absorbent Boom described here is a specialised product designed for containing and absorbing hydrocarbon spills on water surfaces.

Here are the key features and applications:

Hydrophobic Properties: These booms repel water but absorb oils and hydrocarbons, remaining buoyant when saturated and effectively managing spills on water.

Connectivity: The booms can be easily connected using snap hooks and D-rings, allowing you to customise their length to fit the specific requirements of the spill area.

Double Outer Layer: Each boom has a double-skinned design, reinforced with marine cord for durability in aquatic environments.

Ideal for Marine Environments: These booms are effective in containing and absorbing hydrocarbon spills in rivers, creeks, canals, and marine environments.

Packaging: They are sold in packs of 4 units, which provides convenience when acquiring the necessary quantity for spill response.

Absorbent Material: The booms are made of super-absorbent polypropylene microfibers, which can absorb large amounts of hydrocarbons. They are hydrophobic and can float even when fully saturated with oil.

Proactive and Reactive Use: These booms can be positioned proactively in the waterway and respond to a spill incident. Depending on the water's turbidity, they can be left in place for up to six months.

Spill Containment: It is recommended to measure the straight-line length when determining the necessary quantity of booms required to contain floating hydrocarbons. Adding 50% is also suggested to account for any bow or U shape in the water. More than one row of booms may be required in fast-moving water to ensure effective spill prevention.

Additional Absorption: For enhanced absorption capabilities, oil-absorbent pads can be placed inside the U-shape created by the booms. These pads will also float and are easy to retrieve.

Shoreline Protection: Oil absorbent rolls can be deployed along the shoreline to protect the bank and prevent the spread of hydrocarbon spills.

These Floating Oil & Fuel Absorbent Booms are essential for managing oil and fuel spills on water surfaces, helping protect the marine environment and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Their ability to repel water and selectively absorb hydrocarbons makes them highly effective for spill response and containment.
