The immediate availability and deployment of boom is invaluable to prevent further spread of pollution of oil and floating debris throughout the watercourse.
permanent fence boom
Designed for spill response, medium and long term deployment in all inland and sheltered inshore waters with slow currents.
The Trident Fence Boom is lightweight and quick and easy to deploy and recover and is available with a number of connector options making it easy to use in any situation.
The connections are designed to overlap to prevent pollutants passing through the boom joints.
The boom has sealed-in weights and floats making it easy to clean and concertinas for ease of storage when not in use.
Colours – Yellow PVC as standard, Orange PU and PUA.
Float material – either polystyrene foam or closed cell polyethylene foam in individual pockets
Ballast material – either mild steel blocks in individually sealed pockets or chain
Construction – high frequency radio welding
Connectors – EML, ASTM or Emcon
Tow end bridles available to order for all types of connectors
inflatable boom
The Trident inflatable boom is designed for short term emergency deployment in inland waters, ports, harbours and docks.
This type of boom is typically used for deployment from vessels but its small space requirement and speed of deployment make it suitable for a range of deployments across inland waters.
The inflatable buoyancy chamber displays higher buoyancy to weight ratio and continual ballast and skirt aid oil containment.
Manufactured from PVC as standard, also available in PU and PUA
Ballast: in-built ballast system
Buoyancy: inflatable buoyancy chamber
Lengths: 5m, 10m and 20m as standard. Other lengths available to order
Heights: 25cm, 45cm, 60cm, 75cm and 110cm as standard.
Connectors: EML, EMCON or ASTM connectors
Valves: MONSUN MKX11 and XG
Petrol and diesel powered inflators also available
Manual and hydraulic operated deployment reels and ancillary equipment also available
harbourguard boom
The Trident Harbourguard boom is a high buoyancy curtain boom sited to both harbours and open waters. The boom ensures protection of the harbourside water environment from accidental discharge of oils and other contaminating products.
A boom of high strength, buoyancy and stability consisting of a cylindrical foam filled float section and a skirt with galvanised chain ballast/tension member.
Floats: High impact resistant HD polyethylene floats
Ballast: Block weights or galvanised chain
Base fabric: PVG – Manufactured from PVC/PU blend coated onto woven polyester scrim with good water and oil resistance, 4mm thickness,
Connectors: EMCON and ASTM
Breaking strength: 300kN/m (30.6 tonnes/m)
Shield boom
The Shield boom (otherwise known as a log boom) is suitable for installation in environments such as rivers, harbours, lakes and estuaries where heavier or larger volumes of floating debris are present.
The Shield boom is manufactured from double walled HDPE with an integral closed cell foam float and internal steel channel ballast for high resistance to impact from debris.
The optional debris screen is available in galvanised or stainless steel and can be attached to the boom to also contain submerged debris.
Maritime air booms are typically used onboard spill response vessels or applications where a float filled boom would prove too bulky to store and space is restricted.
Maritime air booms are typically deployed in open waters where a boom can be impacted by varying wave heights. In such environments this air boom has a higher buoyancy to weight ratio to maintain boom performance in changing wave conditions.
Maritime air booms are manufactured from Neoprene or Hypalon for added strength to withstand harsh offshore conditions.
A powered boom reel and inflator would be required for correct deployment of this boom.
Beach Seal and Bank Seal Booms are a highly effective oil containment boom for shallow water or intertidal zones. These water ballasted booms can also be used on land.
The Trident Beach Seal and Bank Seal booms act as an oil containment boom when afloat, and when the water level recedes in tidal or variable water level situations, acts to retain the oil by forming a seal with the ground. This range of booms are suitable for all applications from small streams to beaches.
Boom Overview
When afloat booms have excellent wave following characteristics due to their air buoyancy/water ballast tube design. In deployment situations where the boom is aground, the vertical perforated inner membrane acts as a tension member and prevents the boom from rolling, giving the boom excellent stability and sealing characteristics.
The beach seal / bank seal boom is very versatile. It can be used at the water’s edge as a beach seal which maintains an effective barrier throughout the tidal range to protect marshes. In shallow rivers, the boom can be used to improve oil recovery operations by acting as a dam to increase water depth.
The smooth continuous boom profile inhibits the formation of vortices, thereby discouraging oil loss under the boom and due to its ability to operate with a low air inflation pressure the boom is highly flexible and contours more effectively.
This range of booms are incredibly durable with a high resistance to punctures, abrasion and rough handling and are resistant to hydrocarbons and are protected against damaging effects of UV rays.
After deployment, these booms can be easily cleaned with normal detergents and hot or cold pressure washers.
Our range of Spillcare products are designed to help companies contain, control and clean up spills and all manner of liquid pollution protecting the environment from spills and pollution events that occur on a daily basis.
