Global Spill Control products

Silt booms are available in a variety of sizes and materials and are made to order. Silt booms have a foam buoyancy chamber supporting a deep skirt. The skirt can vary from a few metres deep to as many as seven metres deep. Skirt material is woven polyethylene, but can also be a non-porous fabric. Particles as small as 50 microns can be trapped with fine goetextile material. Most silt booms are used in waters with low or no current. Booms in strong currents require additional longitudinal strength to cater for the extremely large force exerted on the skirt of the boom.
