OIL BARRIERS

Safe water protection
through the use of oil barriers

For safe oil spill response in case of spills or accidents in e.g. rivers, lakes, canals or dams, oil booms offer safe protection to contain and absorb harmful substances. Depending on the type and quantity of pollutant, flow velocity, width and depth of the respective water body, different oil barrier systems are suitable, such as active or passive, baffle or air-filled barriers.
While passive barriers have a purely confining function, integrated sorbents of the active barrier ensure direct absorption of the light fluids. The ACS combination lock developed in-house combines both of these functions.
Thanks to the segmental design, all barriers, including those from other manufacturers, can be individually combined and extended.

We also offer competent advice on calculation principles, material selection, care and maintenance, a wide range of accessories or transport and storage systems with complete equipment.
