100 Ft EconoMax Spill Containment Boom for Oil, Trash and Debris

A spill containment boom is a non-absorbent floating barrier designed to corral and contain oil, trash, and debris on water surfaces. Unlike absorbent booms that soak up oil, containment booms physically block and redirect spills so they can be skimmed, vacuumed, or recovered. Containment booms are reusable, while absorbent booms are typically single-use.

The EconoMax boom features a heavy-duty PVC-coated fabric outer shell with closed-cell foam flotation. The rugged construction resists punctures, UV degradation, and petroleum exposure, making it suitable for long-term deployment in harbors, marinas, and industrial waterways.

Yes. The EconoMax containment boom is designed for repeated deployment. After use, simply clean the boom with water or a mild detergent, allow to dry, and store flat or rolled. The PVC-coated fabric and closed-cell foam maintain their integrity through many deployment cycles.

The EconoMax spill containment boom is available in 25-foot, 50-foot, and 100-foot lengths. Multiple sections can be connected end-to-end using the integrated connectors to create barriers of any required length.

Yes. Each EconoMax boom features heavy-duty connectors at both ends for linking multiple sections together. You can create a continuous containment barrier of any length by connecting as many sections as needed. Connectors are designed for quick field deployment without tools.

The EconoMax boom is designed for calm to moderate water conditions — harbors, marinas, ponds, and protected waterways. The Super Swamp boom is designed for shallow water, swamps, marshes, and areas with vegetation or debris. Both contain oil and debris without absorbing, but the Super Swamp is built for rougher, more demanding environments.

The EconoMax boom is optimized for calm to moderate water — harbors, marinas, lakes, ponds, and protected coastal areas. For high-energy open ocean or strong tidal conditions, heavier-duty offshore containment booms may be required. Contact us for recommendations based on your specific deployment environment.

Yes. Spill containment booms support compliance with EPA 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1) SPCC Plans, 33 CFR 154.1047(c)(2) Facility Response Plans, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 HAZWOPER emergency response, and USCG oil spill response equipment requirements. Containment booms are a required component of most facility and vessel spill response plans.

Unroll the boom at the water's edge or from a vessel, connect multiple sections as needed using the end connectors, deploy across the water surface to create a containment perimeter, anchor the ends to fixed points such as dock cleats, pilings, or shore stakes, and use a tow bridle for vessel-deployed operations. The boom floats upright automatically with the ballast skirt hanging below the waterline.

We recommend a Tow Bridle for vessel-towed deployment, a Tow Bridle with Bullet Float for maintaining boom position during towing, and an Anchor System for permanent or semi-permanent installations. These accessories ensure proper deployment and positioning in various water conditions.

Store the boom clean and dry in a covered area away from direct sunlight when not in use. Roll or fold the boom loosely to prevent creasing. The PVC-coated fabric resists UV degradation but extended sun exposure during storage can reduce service life. For emergency response readiness, keep the boom accessible and ready for rapid deployment.

Containment booms feature an above-water freeboard and a below-water ballast skirt that together create an effective barrier. In calm to moderate conditions, the skirt prevents oil from passing underneath. In very high current or wave conditions, some oil may escape under the skirt — which is why boom selection must match the deployment environment. The EconoMax is rated for calm to moderate water.
