ECONAD heavy booms RB5 are special inflatable barrier booms designed for the containment and control of oil, petroleum products, and other floating pollutants on the water surface.
These booms are intended for use in demanding marine and coastal conditions where increased strength, stability, and reliable performance are required. Manufactured from durable, high-quality materials, ECONAD RB5 heavy booms provide effective containment of oil spills and help prevent pollution from spreading across the water surface.
The materials used in the boom construction are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, petroleum products, seawater, and harsh environmental conditions. This makes the booms suitable for repeated use during emergency response operations, preventive protection, and industrial marine applications.
During operation, the booms maintain good stability on the water and provide sufficient resistance to deformation in sea conditions. They are also easy to clean after use and simple to deploy, operate, recover, and store.
ECONAD RB5 heavy booms are designed for:
- containment of oil and petroleum product spills on the water surface;
- rapid localisation of oily water pollution;
- prevention of further spreading of hazardous substances in marine and coastal areas;
- support of emergency oil spill response operations;
- protection of ports, terminals, harbours, shipyards, and industrial water areas;
- preventive deployment around vessels, tankers, offshore equipment, or fuel handling zones;
- creation of a reliable floating perimeter for subsequent oil recovery operations.
ECONAD heavy booms can be used in:
- sea and coastal water areas;
- ports and harbours;
- oil terminals and fuel storage areas;
- shipyards and repair facilities;
- offshore and nearshore industrial sites;
- tanker loading and unloading areas;
- emergency oil spill response operations;
- industrial facilities located near water bodies.

Operation and Use
ECONAD RB5 heavy booms are deployed on the water surface to create a floating barrier around an oil spill or protected area. The boom limits the movement of oil and other floating pollutants, keeping contamination within a controlled zone.
Once the spill is contained, oil can be collected using skimmers, pumps, vacuum systems, sorbents, or other oil spill response equipment.
After operation, the booms can be recovered, cleaned, inspected, and prepared for further use. Their inflatable design allows more efficient storage and transportation compared with some permanent buoyancy systems.
Why Choose ECONAD Heavy Booms
ECONAD RB5 heavy booms provide a reliable solution for oil spill containment in marine, port, and industrial water environments.
Their robust inflatable construction, resistance to environmental impact, and ease of operation make them suitable for emergency response teams, port authorities, industrial operators, and companies responsible for environmental protection on water.
For situations where standard booms may not provide sufficient strength or stability, ECONAD heavy booms offer enhanced performance and dependable containment of oil pollution.
