One of the major oil refineries in the port of Antwerp was looking for a boom that would have 2 years’ fabric guarantee and was able to withstand strong currents from inland and from the sea, all in connection with the river Scheldt – the main river in Antwerp that runs through the port area.
After a number of discussions with the customer UK-based pollution control equipment supplier Zwanny Ltd came up with the P boom – a lightweight but strong boom that is easy to install as a permanent installation and one that is able to contain oil but would also be able to cope with floating river rubbish. The boom has been in use since December 2013 and is working very well – exactly what the customer expected from a high-quality product provided by Zwanny.
