Absorbent marine BOOMS

ABSORBENT OIL & FUEL FLOATING MARINE BOOMS

SpilMax® Absorbent Marine Booms will absorb a wide variety of plant and seed oils, hydrocarbons, petrochemicals and petroleum-based solvents.

These large floating marine booms are hydrophobic and repel water. They are intended for use in waterways to contain and absorb hydrocarbon based spills.

Each boom has printing on it to remind the user what liquids the boom can absorb.

Manufactured with UV resistant tough spun bonded outer mesh encasing a polypropylene particulate. Each absorbent floating boom features snap hooks for easy connection of multiple booms. A nylon rope runs the full length of the floating marine boom which adds strength and ensures ease of retrieval. Available in 125mm and 200mm diameter. An absorbent floating boom has absorbency of up to 35L per saturation depending on the size of the floating marine boom. Even when fully saturated, these durable absorbent booms will float on water.

The SpilMax® range of absorbents have undergone extensive testing to ensure their absorbency and performance using the ASTM Test Method F726-06 “Sorbent Performance of Absorbents” to test maximum oil capacity.

ABSORBENT OIL & FUEL BILGE BOOM

The Absorbent Bilge Booms are hydrophobic and repel water. They are intended for use to absorb oil based liquids and hydrocarbons. They are often used in areas where sheen is likely to be present. While these are traditionally used in boat bilges, they can be used in conjunction with other products and devices, such as those found in drain pits, to remove hydrocarbons from runoff.

FAQ

What liquids can absorbent marine booms absorb?

Absorbent Marine Booms are designed to absorb hydrocarbons, oils, petrochemicals, petroleum-based solvents, and plant or seed oils. Their hydrophobic construction repels water, making them suitable for oil spill containment and recovery in waterways and marine environments.

What is the difference between floating marine booms and bilge booms?

Floating Marine Booms are designed for containing and absorbing hydrocarbon spills across waterways and larger surface spill areas. They can be connected together using snap hooks and nylon rope to create larger spill containment barriers. Bilge Booms are smaller absorbent booms designed for confined areas where oil sheen and hydrocarbon build-up may occur, including boat bilges, drain pits, and runoff collection areas.

 

How do absorbent marine booms connect for larger spill containment areas?

Each floating marine boom is fitted with snap hooks and a full-length nylon rope, allowing multiple booms to be securely connected together. This helps create larger containment barriers and supports easier boom retrieval after use.

Which absorbent marine boom sizes are available?

Absorbent Marine Booms are available in 125mm and 200mm diameters to suit different spill containment requirements. Depending on the boom size, each boom can absorb up to 35 litres per saturation while continuing to float on water when fully saturated.

Are absorbent marine booms UV resistant for marine and outdoor applications?

Yes. Absorbent Marine Booms are manufactured with a UV resistant spun bonded outer mesh encasing polypropylene particulate for durability in demanding outdoor and marine environments. The full-length nylon rope also improves boom strength and retrieval handling.

How is the absorbency performance of marine booms tested?

The absorbents are tested using ASTM Test Method F726-06 for Sorbent Performance of Absorbents. This testing method measures maximum oil absorbency capacity and helps verify product performance in industrial and marine spill response applications.
