Barrier Boom Secondary Oil Containment

Loading...

Barrier Boom is a proven Secondary Containment System designed to allow the unimpeded flow of water during normal rainfall or snow melt events, but becomes an impervious barrier in the event of an oil release.

Barrier Boom is constructed from non-woven geotextile materials filled with Oil Solidifying Polymer Granules, a proprietary blend of several USDA food-grade polymers, and backed with Agent-X, a non-woven geotextile material with embedded within the fabric. Barrier Boom has become the accepted solution for SPCC Secondary Containment by professional engineers across the nation.

Full Description

Barrier Boom is the ideal solution for providing Secondary Containment as required by 40 CFR 112.7 (C) SPCC. Barrier Boom has been installed and PE Certified more than 8,000 times over the past decade in substations for the electric utility industry and other applications around the world. Applications for Secondary Containment with Barrier Boom include Wind Farm pad-mounted transformers, oil-filled equipment storage areas, bulk fuel and oil storage areas—all without the use of concrete walls, sump pumps, and oil-water separator systems. Barrier Booms can be used with clay and vinyl liner systems in non-impervious subsurface applications.

Potentially reduces containment cost by 50% to 80% (on average) over alternative methods
