Marine Spill Control

Containment Booms can also be known as Floating Barriers and Oil & Fuel Booms. These floating devices are designed to control, contain or deflect floating liquid spills and debris on water. These temporary barriers play an important role to contain spills and debris to reduce the impact to nearby aquatic systems, the shoreline and facilitate and effective evacuation of the pollution.
 

The float chamber sitting above the waterline is called the free board. The small skirt bellow the water surface is the draft and is weighted down with a chain ballast. Containment Booms are available in Type 1, 2, and 3 depending on the application. Each design with its own variances to produce optimum results. The floatation and ballast are also dependant on the intended use of the Containment Boom.

Stratex containment booms are custom made to order. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and for an obligation free quote.

Surface skimmers are devices which are used to remove oil fats and floating material from tanks, sumps, interceptors and other effluent pits. They may also be used in open waters such as lakes, harbours and lagoons. The S1 Surface Skimmer features a fully self-adjusting skim height to maintain a fine cut of surface liquid. Its operation is not affected by changes in tilt angle, flow rate or fluid viscosity. It provides full 360° skimming in all directions and features no moving mechanical parts, making it ideal for unmanned operation, reducing labour and associated maintenance costs.

• 856mm diameter x 430mm depth
• Oil removal rate up to 7m3/hr
• A floating weir that automatically adjusts to changing water flow rates
• The weir automatically stays level even if the skimmer tilts
• No moving parts which means little to no maintenance
• Skims in all directions for complete oil removal
• Set and forget, no operator input required
