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.

FAQs
What is a trash and debris boom?
A trash and debris boom is a floating barrier designed to capture floating rubbish, gross pollutants and debris. It creates a contained area for collection, protecting waterways and supporting environmental compliance. Proper positioning and deployment improve capture efficiency.
Where should debris booms be deployed?
Debris booms are suitable for rivers, ponds, canals, harbours and urban waterways. Placement should intercept flowing debris while avoiding excessive drag or water disruption. SpillPro can provide site-specific recommendations for maximum capture performance.
How do you maintain a trash boom?
Regular inspection, debris removal and checking chain ballast and skirt integrity are key. Maintenance ensures the boom continues to float effectively and contain pollutants, preventing blockages or failure in rough or seasonal water conditions.
Can debris booms be customised for different sites?
Yes, SpillPro offers customised booms with variable length, skirt depth, flotation and ballast. Each design is adapted to water flow, debris load and environmental sensitivity, creating a reliable and effective floating barrier for diverse waterways.
Do you offer training for boom deployment?
Yes, SpillPro provides training on positioning, anchoring and maintaining debris booms. Our team ensures your organisation can deploy, monitor and clean booms safely and efficiently while reducing waterway pollution.
Do you provide warranty, service and training 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.
