Marine Containment Barriers
Skirted absorbent barriers prove instrumental in the initial stages of spill response, particularly for small-scale incidents and as a proactive preventive measure. Engineered for both containment and absorption. These barriers exhibit high-absorption capabilities, even in a saturated state. The impermeable PVC skirt restricts hydrocarbon escape. Emtez Absorbent Barriers with skirts are characterised by their lightweight construction, rapid connectivity, and effortless handling, ensuring a swift and efficient response capability.
Fence booms, also known as flat barriers are ideal for calm waters with small, non-breaking waves (<0.3 m) and currents below 1 knot. Recommended for use in protected areas like ports, marinas, bays, and lakes. Their design, featuring internal closed-cell foam floats, ensures functionality even if water enters a chamber. This design makes them lightweight, easy to handle, and always ready for deployment without requiring additional buoyancy activation equipment.
Emtez Inflatable Marine Anti-Pollution Barriers feature cylindrical floats and a ballast chain for deployment in exposed coasts and open seas. These barriers boast exceptional buoyancy, ensuring adaptability to wave-prone waters and effective containment of hydrocarbon spills even in adverse conditions.
Crafted in 25-meter sections, each segment comprises five independent 5-meter flotation chambers shielded by durable outer fabric. Filling valves, easily accessible at all times, are positioned externally. Sections seamlessly connect using a marine-resistant, ASTM-type extruded aluminum quick connection mechanism.
Our permanent marine barriers are ideal for long-term use in facilities such as ports and marinas, are designed to be highly durable and robust. Resistant to currents and winds, they excel in calm waters with small waves. The barriers feature high-density polyethylene (PEHD) floats filled with rigid polyurethane foam (PUR), providing exceptional strength. Additionally, a double layer of PVC-coated polyester with UV treatment ensures protection against both the elements and marine organisms.
These high-buoyancy cylindrical booms, designed for protected or calm waters, feature internal cylindrical floats, typically made of foam or polystyrene, and a PVC-based skirt or draft with a ballast chain. The innovative design ensures zero sway and optimal adaptability to water oscillations, making them ideal for various aquatic conditions.
Silt booms, also know as anti-turbidity barriers are designed to confine and filter sediments produced during construction activities in water bodies, including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and at sea. These booms feature submerged geotextile curtains ranging from 2 to 5 meters in size. Primarily used for containing and filtering sediments generated by dredging or earthworks, the geotextile curtain effectively filters sediments at various depths, preventing the passage of suspended particles through marine anti-turbidity barriers. This ensures the confinement of turbidity and sediments within a specified area.
Emtez Marine Containment Barriers Storage & Equipment
Emtez is dedicated to delivering reliable and efficient solutions for spill mitigation in the marine environment, waste and litter management, and control of harmful substances. Which is why our we also offer high-quality equipment for the secure storage of barriers, such as reels and containers.
Additionally, we provide precision-engineered specialised tools like skimmers, fast tanks (storage tanks), and tidal compensators. Trust Emtez for cutting-edge solutions to safeguard the marine ecosystem and ensure environmentally responsible practices.
Containment Boom Storage & Equipment
Barrier storage reels, available in widths ranging from 1 to 4.5 meters, facilitate the convenient storage and deployment of various barriers. Operable through a hydraulic power unit (Power Pack) or manual operation, these reels are ideal for transportation and storage, proving particularly advantageous in port facilities.
Maritime barrier containers offer a straightforward, quick, and cost-effective solution for storing large quantities of barriers near their intended deployment. Designed for easy transportation between locations, these containers are ideal in the absence of a warehouse. They come with side or front doors based on specific requirements and are constructed with sheet metal featuring anti-corrosion treatment.
We offer a range of Skimmers tailored to specific needs, including Hydraulic, Pneumatic, Overflow, Brushes, Discs, Combined, etc., with varying hydrocarbon collection capacities. Our technical team can assist you in selecting the optimal skimmer type and size for your requirements.
Our self-supporting tanks, constructed from PVC with high-frequency welded seams, require no assembly. Open at the top for easy cleaning, ensuring readiness for future use. Lightweight and easily transportable, they are ideal for various applications, including hydrocarbon collection, military, humanitarian, and more.
Our diverse power unit selection includes gasoline, diesel, and electric options, with or without automatic start, ranging from 6 HP to 64 HP. The units feature single or double hydraulic circuits, enabling simultaneous operations, such as running a skimmer and a hydraulic pump concurrently.
The tidal compensator, designed for marine barriers, incorporates rollers that adapt to the flotation level. It is available in anodized aluminum and stainless steel, featuring a metal frame with rollers, floats, and a connector. Upon connection, the compensator automatically adjusts, rising or falling in response to changing water levels. This makes it particularly useful for applications such as coastal protection, riverbank management, and other scenarios where the water level fluctuates, ensuring effective flood control and adaptable water containment measures.
