Bolina Debris Booms
Control marine debris & pollution at vulnerable sites.
Bolina Debris Booms are used for pollution control in sensitive areas, such as industrial sites, nature reserves or mangrove areas, harbours or marinas, pumping stations, water treatment installations, hydro dams, just to mention a few.
These floating booms are designed to not only exclude or contain naturally occurring floating debris such as tree branches, seaweed/algae/reeds, but they also effectively block man-made trash that might be floating in the waters.
This not only has the benefit of keeping waterways clean and potable, but they also protect critical infrastructure from damage and disruption.
The booms have a unique flush face for laminar deflection of debris into a collection area where they can be easily extracted for recycling. They have been designed in a way that work boats can rub along the face of the debris boom, scooping up materials – this avoids having to inefficiently pick at debris, a method that can also risk damaging the floats, as with conventional debris booms.
Project examples:
• Kariba Dam protection on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
• Booms for The Ocean Cleanup's first Interceptor models (worldwide).
• Multiple projects with the Environment Agency, Canal & River Trust, and other water authorities in the United Kingdom (UK).
Customizations & add-on options for our Debris Boom range:
