For 32 years, I have watched many professionals and non-professionals try to protect the beach with a containment boom. My concern is, I have yet to see it work.
It seems as if we have accepted failure because we keep doing it.
why is that?
My best guess would be because in the past the industry has known of no other way to truly protect a beach from a spilled product.
I do know and understand things must be done to leave a vision within the public eyes by doing something, as something is always better than doing nothing at all.
But, I can promise there are
Two things a containment boom is guaranteed to do when used for beach protection.
Those who have been in the business understand the importance of immediate response and proper clean-up techniques and how they can make a big impact on the people and the environment; when the clean-ups are not done properly, it takes a toll on the environment and safety of
Now I ask to let the industry leave that in the past, and move into the year 2022.
The only next-generation solution to this failure will without a doubt protect yards and yards of the beach, and if placed correctly, the Rapid H2o will give the industry two solutions to the above pictures.

3 年Tucker you make some valid points & standard booms are not a solution in themselves. Pro Earth UK booms are made from ProCleanSorb are highly Absorbent, hydrophobic & entirely sustainable - they critically draw the hydrocarbons towards the edge of the containment area where the contamination can be more effectively treated as well as collected which is the real purpose of the boom. Loose ProCleanSorb too is one of the solutions T&T Eco has available to immediately treat & naturally remove a spill of any size. Please contact us for more details
