PERMANENT FLOATING BARRIER (PFB)
Containment solutions for spills of hydrocarbons (oils, fuels, solvents) onto water......
|  PRODUCT CODES PFB | PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The Permanent Floatation Barrier (PFB) is designed to prevent harmful pollutants from entering harbours, rivers and creeks. Manufactured from heavy duty, chemically and UV resistant XR5, the PFB is hard wearing and is suitable for a wide range of applications. XR5 is a tough, composite fabric of woven polyester that has been molecularly coated to minimise degradation thus making the PFB ideal of long-term deployment. If required, the PFB can be manufactured with a silt curtain to prevent suspended sediments from moving downstream. The PFB is extremely popular with local councils as gross pollutant traps installed around stormwater drains. Features - 10-20 metre length sections
- 500mm OA height standard or to requirements
- Closed cell foam floats with 8mm ballast chain
- ATSM Marine grade connectors
PRODUCT APPLICATION: Deploy Fence Booms around the floating oil spill and attach ends to shore. Also place out before any risky activity that may result in a spill as a preventative measure. Pull booms towards shore to concentrate spill ready for collection. Use "Oil only" Absorbent Pads or "K-Sorb" for absorbing the oil/fuel from the surface of the water inside the booms. |

OKO-TEC DOUBLE TUBED BOOM SYSTEM
Containment solutions for spills of hydrocarbons (oils, fuels, solvents) onto water AS WELL AS containment of spills on land......
|    PRODUCT CODES OKO-TEC DTB | PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The Double-Tubed Boom is made from extremely tear and chemical resistant polyethylene. The diameter of the larger tube is 40cm, the smaller 20cm. The unit is 150 m long but weighs only 52kg and is easily transported and handled using its own roll-up-reel. Both tubes are easily filled with water or air by means of the light, floating filling point. The minimal amount of storage space required and a total weight of less than 100kg for the whole unit makes the system ideal for every Emergency Response Service. Use on Land and Water. Full specifications and Video Available on request. Features - 150m length on a lightweight reel
- Easy to deploy on land or water - fill with air and/or water for ballast
- Tear and chemical resistant polyethylene
PRODUCT APPLICATION: Use on Land - Controlling the flow of contaminated water and other dangerous liquids is a serious problem which faces industry and every Emergency Response Service today. Protecting the environment and stormwater system, is one of the goals when a large spill event occurs on land. Erecting sandbag barriers or earth dams is often time consuming and can be ineffective, letting the contaminants pass through and allowing the sand/earth to become contaminated also. The solution? Use the weight of water itself to make an effective and workable dam, preventing the uncontrolled outflow of liquids. The boom itself can be used as large spillage container. The double chambered nature of the boom prevents it from rolling away and it is easily handled by a small staff, quickly installed and effective over any terrain. Use on Water - Simple to deploy by two people. Roll out into position, fill lower tube with water (ballast) and upper tube with air. |

Absorbs up to 1/2 litre per pad/high efficiency means less absorbent to dispose of, reducing disposal costs. Economical/Don't pay for universal absorbing when you don't need it. PRODUCT APPLICATIONS: PADS & ROLLS are used to place on spills to absorb fluids. Large surface area/Covers surface spills and catches drips on land or factory floors and can be slid under difficult to reach areas to absorb. Disperse by hand onto the surface of water to absorb floating oils & fuels - Hook out to retrieve when saturated. |
