Quickly and Effectively Deal with Oil Spills

Oil spills in any type of waterway need to be contained as quickly as possible. The same applies to spills of petrol or any other type of hydrocarbon spill. Whether the spill is in the ocean, a river, lake, pond, or any other watercourse, the spilled material first needs to be controlled – contained – and then removed from the water.

The most common method of oil spill containment in New Zealand is the use of booms. They can be quickly deployed in spill situations and are highly effective at preventing the oil or other spilled material from spreading further into the waterway.

Oil spill boom kits can be used for a variety of objectives. This includes preventing spilled oil from being washed up onto beaches, to stop oil spills from getting into a sensitive area, or simply to contain the oil until it can be removed from the water.

Choosing the Right Oil Spill Containment Solution

There are three critical questions you need to ask when choosing an oil spill containment solution. These questions are focused on the effectiveness and availability of the spill containment kit. Getting answers to the following three questions will speed up your response to the oil spill situation:

 Are there oil spill booms available for immediate dispatch?

In an oil spill situation, you don’t have time to wait for a supplier to get oil spill booms back in stock, or for a manufacturer to produce a solution for your requirements. Instead, you need oil spill booms ready to be shipped immediately to your location.

At Duraflex, we always have oil spill booms in stock and can turnaround customer orders quickly with minimal delay.

Are the oil spill booms suitable for your requirements?

It is also important to ensure the oil spill containment solution is suitable for your requirements. For example, not all oil spill booms are suitable for use in the ocean. There are also some that are only suitable for short-term use. So, make sure the solution you are choosing meets your requirements.

At Duraflex, we have several options to choose from, ensuring we can meet just about all needs in oil spill situations.

Are the oil spill booms effective?

Making sure the solution can effectively do the job is also important. So, find out about other oil spill situations where the booms have been used and the results of the containment effort.
