BoomVane containment boom for flowing water
The BoomVane containment boom is designed for use in river, harbour, and sea environments where current and flow make containment challenging. Using an angled vane design, the boom naturally positions itself in moving water, creating a reliable barrier that guides oil and debris toward recovery zones with effective containment.
Suitable for:
- Rivers and fast current waterways
- Harbours, ports and terminals
- Offshore and coastal applications
- Industrial sites near water
Benefits
Benefits of BoomVane containment booms
- Enables rapid deployment: In flowing water, teams can deploy a containment boom quickly and maintain control during an oil spill or fuel spill response.
- Eliminating the need for a second vessel: Reduces equipment requirements, simplifies deployment, lowers response costs, and improves overall spill preparedness.
- Lightweight and portable construction: Makes the boom easy to handle, transport and deploy from a boat in varied sites and weather conditions.
- Provides effective containment: By using water flow and vane angle to control boom shape, manage debris and guide product toward cleanup points.
- Supports compliance with environmental regulations: By safeguarding waterways, reducing environmental impact and demonstrating a practical spill response solution.

Featured case study
ExxonMobil PNG
- Industries Mining and Exploration, Industrial, Oil and Gas
Exxon Mobil PNG needed to pro-actively contain and remedy any spills along a remote pipeline between Port Moresby and Hides. That meant finding a way to transport containment booms, skimmer systems, dispersant systems and incinerators through 700km of dense jungle.

Choosing the Right Containment Boom
Containment booms are the first line of defence in any spill response plan. When a spill occurs, swift and effective containment is crucial to minimise environmental impact and financial loss. Selecting the right type of containment boom is key to ensurin
Customer reviews
We placed orders for F07 Parts Washers within weeks of a trial machine being set up, such were the outstanding results from that trial.

FAQs
What makes the BoomVane containment boom different?
The BoomVane containment boom uses a unique vane design that works with water flow rather than against it. This allows the boom to hold position in current, making it valuable for river and harbour spill scenarios where traditional boom types are less effective.
Where is a BoomVane containment boom best used?
This containment boom is ideal for rivers, harbours, offshore edges and any site with flowing water. It is commonly used where fast current, changing conditions, or limited access make conventional boom deployment difficult.
Do BoomVane systems require anchoring?
In many applications, the BoomVane containment boom can be deployed without anchoring, depending on flow and site layout. Where required, anchor points can be added to manage line tension and control boom angle.
Can BoomVane containment booms handle debris?
Yes. The design allows the boom to manage surface debris while maintaining effective containment. Operators should still monitor debris load to ensure performance is maintained during longer spill events.
Does SpillPro provide training and support?
SpillPro provides training, commissioning, and ongoing support to ensure teams can deploy and use BoomVane containment booms safely, effectively, and in line with spill response best practices.
Do you provide a warranty for oil booms?
Yes. SpillPro offers warranty support and ongoing servicing for oil spill containment booms, along with operator training and commissioning services. Training helps teams deploy booms safely, avoid common handling issues and improve containment outcomes during real spill events.
