Oil absorbent booms for spill control

• Absorbs oil and fuel efficiently: While continuing to float, helping teams maintain control of liquid spread during active spill response.
• Hydrophobic construction: Repels water while targeting hydrocarbons, improving absorbent capacity and reducing wasted saturation.
• Tough outer mesh: Improves durability in marine and industrial conditions, reducing fibre loss and extending service life.
• Flexible design: Allows booms to be used together to create longer barriers or wrap around assets for targeted spill containment.
• Compatible with spill kits and other absorbents: Supporting coordinated spill control across varied response scenarios.

SpillPro supplies multiple absorbent floating boom options to suit different spill risks, access constraints and deployment needs. Variants are selected based on absorbency, length, diameter and connection method to ensure effective spill containment booms for each application.

• 125mm diameter: Absorbent marine booms in 1.2m and 3m lengths for targeted response and easy handling.
• Fuel absorbent boom options: Designed specifically for oil and fuel spills involving petrol, diesel and solvent products.
• Polypropylene sorbent construction: With meltblown polypropylene fibre encased in a strong mesh outer for durability.

Correct deployment ensures an absorbent boom performs as intended. SpillPro provides guidance on joining multiple booms, safely positioning them, and managing saturation during responses to oil and fuel spills.

Key deployment considerations:

• Use snap hooks: Join multiple booms securely and form longer floating booms across the spill area.
• Monitor saturation levels closely: As absorbent booms absorb oil until fully saturated and require replacement.
• Position booms: Intercept liquid flow without submerging, allowing the boom to float freely.
• Ensure outer mesh remains intact: Prevent particulate loss and maintain absorbency performance.
• Store booms dry and protected from UV exposure: Preserve fibre structure and UV-resistant properties.

Oil absorbent booms are used wherever oil or fuel poses a risk to water or sensitive environments. SpillPro supports organisations managing routine and emergency spill response across Australia.
