The 3M Oil Sorbent Boom is typically used to encircle spills and to contain leaks for controlling, cleaning up and recovering oil and petroleum based liquids from effluent discharge, streams, ponds, lakes, rivers and other bodies of water. Being hydrophobic (repelling water), they are ideal for absorbing oil from areas where water may also be present.
- Hydrophobic
- Cost-effective as oil, not water, is recovered
- Can be used outside as well as in-plant
- Capacity: 20 gallon per boom
