Fuel bladder tanks can be used to store fuel in places where infrastructure is not available. A fuel bladder, a soft, pillow-like storage container, can store fuel and other liquids in many contexts. Fuel Bladders are designed to store fuel in a more efficient way versus previous methods. Fuel bladder tank containment can be used as a preventative measure in the event of a fuel bladder tank leakage or damage. Fuel bladder tanks are more mobile than traditional fuel tank tanks, but they can still be spilled. Texas Boom has been manufacturing oil spill response equipment for over 30 years. You can trust that they will point you in the right direction of which products would best suit your needs. 

Fuel bladder tanks should be kept in containment units such as berms to prevent any potential harmful liquids from leaking or being spilled. There are many options for these containment units. EPA regulations also require fuel tank containment. Petroleum is classified as oil by the EPA. Therefore, any entity that stores fuel quantities exceeding 1,320 gallons must follow the EPA regulations on fuel containment. To prevent fuel spillages from polluting navigable waters as defined by the Clean Water Act, one component of fuel storage is housing storage units within secondary containment units (such as berms). Oil and fuel can be a danger to waterways, soil, and marine habitats if it is accidentally released. Organizations must create SPCC plans to comply with EPA regulations. These plans outline countermeasures that are taken to protect the environment from the wide-ranging environmental impacts of substances being stored. Secondary containment of fuel and other substances is one countermeasure. This is why fuel containment units are required.

Fuel bladders can be used in many areas, including agribusiness and public works. Standard tanks are intended for use on land, but can also be used in the marine environment and in aviation with proper support. Commonly, fuel bladders are used in oil spillage recovery operations.

High end fuel bladders provide a high level of protection for stored liquids. They ensure that the contents do not come into contact with the air. This eliminates the risk of gas formation causing evaporation and explosion. A neutral barrier film is applied to the fuel bladder's inner to prevent liquid contamination.

When critical infrastructure is not available or compromised, fuel bladders can be very useful. Flexible storage systems like fuel bladders are easy to transport and set up. Fuel bladders are resistant to extreme climatic conditions and can be used in disaster zones or wartime desert operations.

A containment boom is a temporary floating barrier that's used to contain a crude oil spill. Booms can be used to decrease the risk of pollution and make recovery easier. Booms are used to concentrate oil on thicker surfaces so that vacuums or other collection methods can work more efficiently. There are many types and sizes available, each with different levels of effectiveness for different water conditions. Contact your representative at Texas Boom to learn which type of boom is appropriate for your application.

Oil containment booms are often the first response to be used on spillage and the last to be removed from an oil spillage site. Even with the correct aspect ratio and draft, a single boom will not protect the environment from oil spillage. In many cases, multiple boom deployments are used. The boom won't stop oil if it travels at speeds exceeding 1 knot (of water and oil). Before the oil meets the boom, it must be decelerated. A series of well-designed booms can prevent oil from leaking into the boom.

There are many ways that sensitive areas can be protected from an advancing oil slick as a result of a spillage. One common way to protect sensitive areas is with a containment boom. Booms, which are made from metal, plastic, and other materials, act as floating barriers to oil that contain it and slow its spread. Booms are deployed by skilled workers using mooring devices like anchors, or landlines. Texas Boom Company manufactures oil spillage containment booms that can be used in many situations. Our containment booms are known for being reliable, durable, and easy to access. Texas Boom has a range of oil containment booms to suit your needs. Galvanized chains ballast and galvanized closed-cell foam flotation are some of our top-quality materials. Coated or stainless steel top tension cable is also available. Industry-standard ASTM aluminum connectors are also available.

Although some booms can absorb oil and help to contain it, they are not designed to clean up oil spillages. A containment boom's purpose is to stop the oil from leaking and diverting it to a collection site. Multiple containment booms can be linked end-to-end to prevent larger oil spillages. One or more vessels may then pull the multiple booms along to cover the oil slick. A large reel attached to a vessel may be used to deploy fence booms. These booms have flat freeboards rather than rounded curtain booms. Booms can sometimes be attached to mooring points in rare instances. This is because it is impossible to place multiple moorings during an emergency. These operations can be dangerous and slow depending on the vessel maneuverability, tidal conditions and vessel maneuverability. Also, it is not possible to carry as much oil per vessel. Volunteers are often available to help with cleanup and initial containment of oil spillages. 

Oil spillage booms can be very effective and almost necessary in the event of an oil spillage. However, it is crucial that the right type of boom is used for the specific application. A high-tensile boom will be required to withstand currents and waves in fast-moving water environments like rivers and intertidal zones. A lighter-weight fence boom can be used in calm waters like streams or ditches. 

Why Choose A Containment Boom?

Containment booms are deployed around the world to prevent oil from leaking into rivers and waterways. They facilitate controlled burns and protect shorelines from potentially catastrophic oil spills. And they help keep landmark rivers and bays clear of refuse. In addition to a boom, one may also employ Oil Spill Absorbent Booms and Pads. Oil spill absorbents are pads and booms that can be quickly deployed for spill response. They work by picking up and retaining the oil, in addition to containing the oil.

If you require professional grade containment booms, then Texas Boom is the company for you. Texas Boom has been manufacturing oil spill response materials for over 30 years. With their wealth of experience, you can trust that their products will contain the oil spill. 

Turbidity Curtains are floating barriers that are used in marine construction and dredging projects to control the dispersion silt and sediment suspended during commercial activities. Turbidity Curtains are also known as silt curtains or silt screens.  Turbidity curtains can be used to ensure compliance and protect the environment. They also aid in the operation of pumps, other equipment, and help to maintain project safety. The Turbidity Curtains manufactured by Texas Boom Company comply with the Clean Water Act. Multiple silt curtains can be placed in parallel to improve the control of silt and runoff. Texas Boom Company can provide a wide range of skirt thicknesses and fabric weights to suit your project requirements. Permeable and impermeable skirts can be ordered upon request. Turbidity Curtain types I, II, and III are recommended respectively for slow, medium and fast moving water. 

There are many options available for customizing your silt curtain according to your specific needs. Our turbidity curtain specialists can help you design a barrier that meets your needs. Texas Boom Company will help you find the right solution for your project. There are several different types of Turbidity Curtains. Type I turbidity curtains, also known as silt curtains and Type 1, are designed to reduce sediment runoff in calm waters. These turbidity curtains use foam-filled floats (also known as Freeboards) and skirts that range from 3 to 20 feet in height. These floating silt curtains prevent the water from absorbing any silt or sediment. Type I turbidity curtains can be used in calm waters that are protected from wind exposure. They are suitable for use in lakes, canals or streams with little wind exposure. Type 1 silt curtains, which are lighter-weight fabric and do not require aluminum connectors, are the most cost-effective. 

Type II Turbidity Curtains, also known as silt curtains and Type 2, are designed to reduce sediment runoff in slow-moving waters. These turbidity curtains use foam-filled floats (also known as Freeboards) and skirts that range from 5 to 50 feet in height. These floating silt curtains prevent the water from absorbing any silt or sediment. Type II turbidity curtains can be used in slow-moving waters like lakes, streams, canals and slow moving rivers. Type 2 silt curtains feature aluminum end connectors and grommets with reinforced side seams. Type III turbidity curtains, also known as silt curtains and Type 3 curtains, are designed to reduce sediment and runoff in moving water and moderate wind and wave conditions. These turbidity curtains use foam-filled floats (also known as Freeboards) and skirts that range from 5 to 50 feet in height. These floating silt curtains prevent the flow of sediment or silt that might be suspended in the water. Type III turbidity curtains can be used in moving water bodies such as rivers, bays and harbors. Type 3 silt curtains use aluminum end connectors and grommets with reinforced side seams. Connector plates are attached using toggle pins, while grommets can be joined with rope, nuts & bolts or strong zipties. If you require any type of Turbidity Curtain, Texas Boom Company is the place for you.
