Product Description

Take control of oil spills with this Oil-Only Absorbent Float, specifically designed to float on water while effectively absorbing oil-based liquids. With its robust construction, this oil water skimmer maintains the largest surface area in contact with water, allowing for rapid absorption and efficient spill management. Engineered to act like an absorbent board rather than a flexible pad, this product ensures ease of handling and straightforward disposal.

Key Features:

  1. Efficient Oil Absorption
    Hydrophobic in nature, this floating oil absorbent boom repels water, absorbing only oil-based contaminants. Its polypropylene structure allows each unit to absorb up to 10 liters (or approximately 2.7 gallons) of oil, making it ideal for large spills across a variety of water bodies, from industrial sites to open waters.

  2. Easy Monitoring and Handling
    The absorbent float comes in a white color, allowing users to quickly gauge saturation levels. Unlike typical flexible absorbents, this float maintains its shape and rigidity, providing easy handling for safe and efficient cleanup.

  3. Continuous Floating Performance
    Even when fully saturated with oil, this floating oil absorbent pad remains afloat, ensuring consistent spill containment and cleanup until full absorption is achieved.

  4. Convenient Coverage
    For larger spills, multiple floats can be linked together to form a larger skimmer area. Each unit includes a durable rope along its length, allowing easy retrieval and repositioning, especially useful in emergency response situations.

Ideal Applications:

  • Marine Environments: Manage oil spills in water bodies, docks, and harbors with ease.

  • Industrial Facilities: Suitable for factories and workshops where oil spill risks are common.

  • Emergency Response: A crucial tool in spill kits for quick and effective containment.

  • Construction Sites: Prevents oil contamination in and around construction zones.

Specifications:

  • Product Type: Absorbent Float

  • Absorption Capacity: 10 liters per float

  • Color: White for easy saturation visibility

  • Material: Polypropylene (Outside Skin and Filler)

  • Rope Length: Included along the length for retrieval

  • Floating Capabilities: Maintains buoyancy even when saturated

  • Dimensions: 20 inches in length

  • Environmental Safety: Incinerable for safe disposal

For industries looking for reliable oil spill solutions, this oil water skimmer and floating oil absorbent pad are both effective and easy to use.

Faqs

What is a floating oil absorbent boom, and how does it work?

A floating oil absorbent boom is designed to contain and absorb oil spills on water surfaces. Made from high-quality polypropylene, it floats on water while repelling it, allowing it to absorb only oil-based liquids. The boom includes a rope along its length, making it easy to deploy and retrieve, especially in marine environments, harbors, and industrial sites.

Can I use floating oil absorbent pads for small spills on water?

Yes, floating oil absorbent pads are ideal for small-scale oil spills on water surfaces. Like the absorbent boom, these pads are hydrophobic and will only absorb oil-based liquids, not water. They’re lightweight and easy to use for quick, localized cleanups, particularly around docks or industrial spill sites.

What is an Oil-Only Absorbent Float?

The Oil-Only Absorbent Float is a specialized product designed to handle oil spills on water with maximum efficiency. With a rigid structure similar to an absorbent board, it offers easy handling and rapid absorption. This float is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water while absorbing oil, even in fully saturated conditions. Each float can absorb up to 10 liters (approximately 2.7 gallons) of oil-based liquid.

What are the technical specifications of the Oil-Only Absorbent Float?

The Oil-Only Absorbent Float is made with polypropylene, ensuring durability and effective absorption. Each float is 20 inches in size, has a round profile, and includes a rope for easy maneuvering. It can absorb up to 10 liters of oil and is designed for single-use applications. The white color makes it easy to check for saturation levels, and the float remains buoyant even when fully soaked.

Can floating oil absorbent products be reused?

No, these floating oil absorbent products, including booms and pads, are intended for single-use. They should be disposed of once fully saturated with oil, making them safe and efficient for one-time spill response, especially in emergency situations.

What types of oil spills are floating absorbent booms and pads suitable for?

These products are ideal for marine oil spills, industrial spill containment, and emergency response on water bodies. Their applications extend to docks, harbors, factories, and even construction sites where oil spills need to be contained and quickly absorbed without sinking or water contamination.

How do I know when an Oil-Only Absorbent Float or pad is fully saturated?

The white color of the absorbent float or pad serves as a visual indicator. As the product absorbs oil, you can easily monitor the saturation level. Once the product appears entirely soaked with oil, it should be safely disposed of as it will have reached its full absorption capacity.

Do I need any additional equipment for oil-water separation with these products?

While the floating absorbent booms and pads are effective for spill containment, you might also consider using a skimmer for oil-water separation. A skimmer enhances oil spill response by separating oil from water, complementing the use of absorbent products, especially in larger spills.

How should I dispose of used floating oil absorbent booms and pads?

After use, dispose of the saturated absorbent products according to local environmental regulations. Since they are single-use and incinerable, they can often be safely handled by facilities equipped for oil-contaminated waste.

Are the floating oil absorbent booms suitable for outdoor use in all weather?

These booms are suitable for typical temperature ranges but are not UV-resistant, meaning prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may reduce their durability. For optimal results, deploy them in conditions that avoid extended UV exposure when possible.

Can I connect multiple Oil-Only Absorbent Floats to cover a larger spill area?

Yes, you can link multiple floats using the rope provided along each float’s length. This setup effectively extends coverage for larger oil spills on water, allowing for more comprehensive containment and absorption.

What are the advantages of using floating oil absorbent products over other methods?

Floating oil absorbent products provide rapid oil absorption, water repellency, and easy deployment. They are designed to float even when fully saturated with oil, which ensures ongoing effectiveness throughout the cleanup process. Their single-use, disposable nature also makes them straightforward to handle and dispose of after use.
