Description
Solid Filled Oil Containment Booms provide reliable containment for oil and fuel spills on water. They create a floating barrier that helps control the spread of hydrocarbons and protect surrounding waterways.
Designed for marine, industrial and emergency spill response applications, these oil containment booms combine heavy-duty PVC construction, closed-cell foam flotation and chain ballast for dependable performance in demanding environments.
Available in different lengths, they can be configured to suit ports, marinas, industrial sites, waterways and oil spill response operations.
Key Features
- Effective oil containment – Helps contain floating oil and fuel spills before they spread across the water surface.
- Reliable foam flotation – Closed-cell, oil-resistant foam provides consistent buoyancy and does not crumble.
- Heavy-duty PVC construction – Manufactured from durable 610gsm PVC for demanding marine and industrial applications.
- UV-resistant – Designed to provide up to five years of UV resistance under suitable conditions.
- Stable in the water – An enclosed chain ballast helps keep the boom skirt positioned below the surface.
- Easy to connect – ASTM F962-style Z-connectors and toggle pins allow compatible boom sections to be joined.
- Customisable lengths – Available in different lengths to suit specific containment areas and site requirements.
Where Are Solid Filled Oil Containment Booms Used?
Solid Filled Oil Containment Booms are suitable for a range of oil spill prevention and response applications, including:
- Ports and marinas
- Industrial facilities near waterways
- Offshore and marine operations
- Rivers, lakes and inland waterways
- Fuel transfer areas
- Oil spill response and clean-up operations
- Environmental protection projects
How Do Oil Containment Booms Work?
Oil containment booms form a floating barrier around a spill. The foam flotation keeps the boom above the water, while the weighted skirt extends below the surface to help limit the movement of floating oil.
By concentrating the spill within a controlled area, the boom also supports subsequent oil recovery and clean-up operations.
