• Rapid Deployment Booms

    Fremantle Port Authority have utilised OLEOLOGY to set up Rapid Deployment Booms (RD Booms) to effectively capture oil contamination in the harbour.

Further enhancing the capture capacity of the MyCelx booms, MyCelx Versimats were deployed inside the containment booms further increasing the oil capture capacity by up to 40 to 100kg.

Deployment into Harbour with Absorption Rate 50x more than Conventional Booms/Sorbents

Conventional booms and oil removal media are difficult to store, slow to deploy, require a team of people and can release oil back into the water.
