Hydrocarbon Decontamination Services
Oil pollution from oil spills and gas releases is a recurring problem. In the event of a disaster, action must be taken very quickly and effectively to avoid the dispersion of the pollutant as much as possible. THOMSEA has become the world leader in the decontamination of hydrocarbons at sea by trawling. Its trawls, very quick to set up and versatile, are also capable of adapting to different characteristics of hydrocarbons, whether heavy or emulsified. No floating solid can resist this trawl. THOMSEA`s expertise allows it to provide its subcontractors with precise plans for the manufacture of the different parts of the trawls: inflatable parts, nets, hoops (which keep the opening of the "pocket" above and below the water). This collaboration is crucial in the search for an optimal solution. The elements are then assembled and tested by THOMSEA, with a permanent desire for improvement that makes its trawls ever more efficient.
Macro-Waste Decontamination Solution
Plastic pollution is everywhere, and continues to increase in all four corners of the globe. Faced with this problem of general interest, initiatives to clean up macro-waste are multiplying and THOMSEA is actively involved in this fight. The THOMSEA trawl, coupled with the know-how of fishermen, is the ultimate weapon against this environmental disaster. It adapts very well to the collection of different floating macro-waste, by only changing the mesh of the net. The versatility and efficiency of its trawls have been proven in several partnerships. With Waste Free Oceans, a global association for the collection and processing of plastic waste, THOMSEA has already equipped many European countries. THOMSEA also provides training in pollution control for local sailors. In some African countries, trawls also have a social role to play. They help fishermen diversify their profession by developing a new economy around the collection of this waste.
