Fire Booms
Effective containment for controlled in-situ burns
Controlled burns. They require a containment boom that can stand the heat. One that can be deployed quickly and efficiently. One that will contain enough oil to facilitate burning – and avoid serious environmental damage.
That's why fire boom from SpillPro ensure even the largest spills can be managed effectively through controlled in-situ burning.
Thanks to their highly heat-resistant and water-cooled construction, our fire booms help eliminate large volumes of oil in minimal time. Easily transported and deployed, they put time on your side – meaning limited impact on the surrounding environment.

Limit impact
Large spills can cause catastrophic environmental damage. SpillPro's fire boom quickly contain spills ready for in-situ burning (IB) – one of the most effective ways to limit a large spill's environmental impact.
Save on costs
Using SpillPro fire boom ensures maximum oil volumes are destroyed. That avoids massive recovery costs and minimises expensive clean-up operations.
Proven effectiveness
The Deepwater Horizon spill required more than 300,000 barrels of oil to be burnt. After more than 400 burns, our Hydro-Fire Boom emerged as the most effective containment boom. So you can rely on it to help control even the largest spills.

How SpillPro fire booms work
Two types of boom. One result – effective containment and IB.
The SpillPro Fire Boom is deployed from the back of a boat. The other end is then connected to a second boat, creating a u-shaped containment area. The boats tow the boom through the spill area before a specially-designed igniter starts the IB.
SpillPro's Hydro-Fire Boom is deployed from a boom reel and connected to high flow water pumps on each boat. Large volumes of water are pumped through and over the boom during the IB. This prevents damage to the boom, ensuring it continues to effectively contain spills – burn after burn.
