Description & Specifications
Control oil spills on land or water with PIG Essentials Booms.
- Works in all conditions to absorb oil spills on land or water
- Floats to confine and soak up oil spills on water even when saturated; hugs the ground for land-based spills
- Strong mesh outer sleeve encases a poly sock skin filled with highly-sorbent pulp; filler won't shed and Booms won't sink, even when saturated with oil
- Rope running along length of boom adds strength for deployment and retrieval
- Durable, easy-to-use connectors provide a simple and efficient way to link Booms together and create a containment system big enough to handle almost any size spill on water
- Absorbs and retains oils and oil-based liquids - including lubricants and fuels - without taking in a drop of water
- Bright white colour makes booms easier to see in outdoor environments and clearly shows saturation level
- When sea-weather condition is wind speed >5 knots & a (perpendicular) water-current speed >2 knots, this can cause oil absorbent booms to submerge, allowing oil to pass over them
- Waves higher than freeboard (above water) portion of boom will push oil over absorbent booms; optimal sea-weather condition for usage is typically Beafort Scale #2 or less
