Conventional Oil Spill Containment Booms

Water Booms

Conventional oil containment boom is our most commonly used spill-response boom. Also called curtain boom, it is designed with semi-flexible internal foam flotation and a flexible fabric skirt. ABASCO conventional oil spill booms are available in sizes and strengths (see below) to contain spills in conditions from quiescent waters to open ocean waves.

Delta 6 Inch Boom

Lightweight, quiescent-water spill containment boom. Uses: Calm bodies of water (Ponds, Lakes, Canals)

Alpha 10 Inch Boom

A good lightweight, calm-water oil spill boom. Uses: Calm bodies of Water (Ponds, Lakes, Canals)

Beta 18 Inch Boom

Gamma 24 Inch Boom

Fast-water boom for slightly choppy to choppy waters. Excellent articulation and surface-water conformance on long-period waves and surface chops. Uses: Choppy to Fast Bodies of Water (Rivers, Docks, Creeks, Large

Kappa 30 Inch Boom

Open and protected water boom. Large rugged boom with low center of gravity. It offers good wave conformity and stability for rivers and coastal water. Uses: Calm Bodies of Water

Omega 36 Inch Boom

Offshore and rough-water oil spill boom with a low center of gravity for stability and wave conformance. Uses: Excellent Offshore & Rough Waters (Large Lakes, Offshore, Large Bays)

Epsilon 42 Inch Boom

Rough-water oil spill containment boom with excellent wave conformance and extremely high tensile strength. Uses: Rough Open Waters (Ocean, Offshore, Channels)

All fabric welds are standard 2-inch thermal welds or 1-inch radio-frequency (RF) welds for superior strength and durability. Welds are guaranteed for the life of the non-absorbent boom.
Extra-heavy hinge points between flotation segments ensure vertical boom stability and float integrity and durability. Hinges are RF welded and are 3 inches wide and three fabric layers thick.
Flotation segments are 4 ft long for superior wave conformity and ease of handling and storage.
Polyethylene foam flotation has 100% retractable memory for superior flotation performance and durability.
High-tensile-strength aluminum connectors are universally compatible and exceed industry standards.
All tension cables and ballast chains are hot-dip galvanized for non-absorbent booms.
The pre-loaded tension cable terminates into the end connectors; the non-absorbent boom fabric never bears the load.
A wide variety of fabrics, coatings, section lengths, weights, and colors are available.
