Spill Booms for Oil Cleanup
Oil spill booms serve as essential barriers to contain and control oil spills in various water conditions. Designed for deployment in calm, fast-moving, or open waters, these booms help mitigate environmental impact by preventing the spread of oil. Suitable for both land and aquatic applications, they are a proactive solution for effective spill response. Ensure readiness for emergencies by having an oil spill containment boom readily available.

Oil Spill Containment Boom Details
Each oil spill presents different challenges. Choosing the right boom depends on water speed, site conditions, and how long the equipment will remain in place. We offer several options tailored to these needs:
- Calm Water Boom – Ideal for marinas, lakes, and sheltered areas.
- Fast Water Boom – Built to perform in rivers, channels, or moving currents.
- Open Water Boom – Designed for offshore response and rougher environments.
- Permanent Oil Boom – Installed at fixed locations for continuous protection.
- Oil Fence Boom – Compact and efficient; often stored on reels for quick use.
- Oil Absorbent Boom – Made from polypropylene to trap and hold floating oil.
- Spaghetti Boom – Best for heavy crude and thick surface contaminants.
Containment booms are constructed with reinforced PVC, internal flotation, and a weighted ballast chain to maintain position. Fast water and offshore models add a top tension cable and side connectors for improved stability during deployment. For a successful spill response, it's just as important to use the right accessories. We supply anchor kits, buoys, tow bridles, painter lines, tidal compensators, and marker lights to help keep the boom in place and visible in all conditions.
