Floating oil boom (sorbent)
Expandi
The booms are delivered in large, durable bags with four lifting points for easy handling. The bags are suitable for temporary disposal of used absorbent booms. The sorbent material is extremely water repelling while it absorbs oil containing fluids effectively. The products are inexpensive and to be considered as disposable. Time consuming, costly and unpleasant cleaning is not necessary.
The Sorbent Booms are equipped with reflective strips SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea). The reflectives conform to Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC and International Maritime Organization (IMO) Resolution A.658 (16) Annex 2. The reflective strips help enhance visibility of the absorbent booms in nighttime, or low-light conditions when illuminated by a spotlight or other light source.
The Skirted Sorbent Booms may be used as conventional oil boom barrier in calm waters by using the plastic fabric side of the boom instead of the sorbent side.
The booms with or without skirt are available in 2 different sorbent material:
Synthetic: Hydrophobic and oleophilic melt blown polypropylene fibers.
Biodegradable: Special treated hydrophobic and oleophilic cotton fibers.
