ECONAD oil flat booms are floating barrier systems with a flat float chamber, designed for the rapid localisation, containment, and control of oil spills and other floating pollutants on the water surface.
These booms are used to prevent oil, petroleum products, fuel, and contaminated floating materials from spreading across water areas. Their flat float chamber design makes them practical for quick deployment, compact storage, and efficient use during oil spill response operations.
ECONAD oil flat booms can be applied in ports, reservoirs, bays, rivers, harbours, coastal areas, and open water. They are suitable for emergency response, preventive protection, and cleanup operations where oil pollution must be quickly contained and collected.
The booms can be used together with oil skimmers, pumps, sorbents, temporary storage tanks, and other spill response equipment to create a complete oil recovery system.
ECONAD oil flat booms are designed for:
- limiting the spread of oil and petroleum products on the water surface;
- localising oil spills during emergency response operations;
- moving and directing oil pollution towards a collection point;
- supporting the recovery of oil using skimmers, pumps, sorbents, or vacuum systems;
- surrounding oil tankers and oil-carrying vessels during cargo operations;
- protecting water areas during loading, unloading, bunkering, and maintenance works;
- protecting coastlines, harbours, rivers, reservoirs, nature reserves, and other sensitive areas from spilled oil;
- enclosing oil-contaminated areas during cleanup and remediation operations.
ECONAD oil flat booms can be used in:
- ports and harbour waters;
- reservoirs, bays, rivers, lakes, and canals;
- coastal and nearshore areas;
- open sea conditions, depending on the selected boom type and weather conditions;
- oil terminals and fuel handling areas;
- shipyards and repair facilities;
- tanker loading and unloading zones;
- emergency oil spill response operations;
- environmental protection and remediation works.
- flat float chamber design;
- fast deployment during emergency response;
- compact storage and transportation;
- suitable for localisation and containment of oil spills;
- can be used for moving and directing floating pollution;
- compatible with skimmers, pumps, sorbents, and other oil recovery equipment;
- suitable for ports, rivers, reservoirs, bays, and selected open water applications;
- available in several sizes depending on the required freeboard, skirt depth, and operating conditions;
- practical solution for both emergency response and preventive protection.
Operation and Use
Oil flat booms are deployed on the water surface to create a floating barrier around an oil spill or protected area. The freeboard prevents oil from passing over the boom, while the underwater skirt helps reduce the movement of pollution below the surface.
After the spill is localised, the contained oil can be collected using skimmers, pumps, sorbents, or other oil spill recovery equipment.
Flat booms can also be used to guide oil pollution towards a designated collection point or to protect sensitive areas by blocking the movement of contamination.
