Oil Spill Response Kits

The kit measures 114 × 70 × 82 cm (L × W × H), is watertight, lockable and supplied with oil-resistant gloves and sealable bags for disposing of used, contaminated materials. Its total absorption capacity is 1,100 L (242 gallons).

Oil Booms 
This product is highly recommended for shipyards, boatyards, marinas and bunkering stations. Booms are available in diameters of 13 and 20 cm, and lengths of 3 and 5 m. They float on water and confine oil spills to a single area. Booms can be deployed immediately in the event of any contamination, thus minimizing the impact on the environment. If the booms are filled with absorbent cloth, then they will also absorb the oil they are being used to confine. These booms are recommended by the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management.

Oil-Absorbent Cloths
We recommend the use of oil and chemical-absorbent cloths to numerous industries including the petrochemical industry, machinery plants and garages. These cloths are ideally suited for placing on the ground around machinery and in other locations to absorb oils and chemicals as spills occur. Cloths have an absorption capacity of up to twenty-five times their own weight. They are available as combined water/oil/chemical-absorbent cloths and heavy machinery can be moved over these cloths without any problem.
