In an era where environmental incidents, particularly oil spills, are becoming more frequent at seaports, industrial zones, rivers, and shipyards, rapid and effective response is critical to protecting ecosystems and minimizing economic losses. One of the most trusted and widely used products today is the Oil Absorbent Boom from Bignanotech.

What Is an Oil Absorbent Boom and Why Is It Essential?
An Oil Absorbent Boom (also known as an Oil Absorbent Sock) is a specialized floating device that combines two key functions: containment to prevent oil from spreading and absorption to directly collect spilled oil. Unlike conventional containment booms that only create a physical barrier, Bignanotech’s booms integrate advanced super-absorbent materials (nano-enhanced polypropylene) that selectively absorb hydrocarbons (oil, gasoline, diesel) while completely repelling water, ensuring the boom remains afloat even when fully saturated.
According to the latest 2025 research from the U.S. EPA and global spill response reports, absorbent containment booms rank among the top 5 most effective methods for marine oil spill response, with deployment times as fast as 2–5 minutes for 100 meters and oil recovery rates reaching up to 95%. In Vietnam, with over 3,200 km of coastline and hundreds of riverside industrial parks, this product helps businesses fully comply with Decree 40/2019/NĐ-CP on environmental incident response.

Outstanding Advantages of Bignanotech Oil Absorbent Booms
Thanks to proprietary Japanese nano-fiber technology (fibers 1–1,000 nm in diameter), surface contact area is increased 5 times compared to conventional products. Here are the key advantages:
- Ultra-Fast Selective Absorption Absorbs only oil and hydrocarbons — 100% water-repellent. Absorption capacity up to 30–50 times its own weight — double that of standard booms.
- Extreme Durability – Never Sinks, Never Tears Outer shell made of high-strength non-woven geotextile, resistant to UV, waves, and corrosive chemicals. Remains buoyant even when fully saturated.
- Rapid Deployment & Easy Recovery Lightweight coiled design with nylon ropes and carbon-steel connectors allows multiple sections to be linked into kilometers in minutes — 80% lighter and 10 times faster to deploy than traditional booms.
- Environmentally Safe & Cost-Effective After use, can be incinerated for energy recovery or recycled, reducing disposal costs by 50–80%. No toxic residues — fully compliant with SPCC (40 CFR 112.7).
- Wide Range of Sizes & Customization From compact models for minor spills to large offshore versions for major incidents.

Absorption values based on diesel; higher for lighter oils.
How to Use Oil Absorbent Booms in Real Scenarios
The deployment process is simple and requires only 2–4 people:
- Preparation – Wear PPE (gloves, goggles, mask). Identify and stop the source if possible.
- Deployment – Unroll booms, connect sections with steel hooks, encircle the spill clockwise, and secure with anchor ropes.
- Absorption – Combine with absorbent pads/pillows inside the containment area for complete cleanup.
- Recovery – Once saturated (color changes from white to yellow/brown), pull booms ashore using ropes and place in designated waste bags for incineration or recycling.
According to Bignanotech guidelines, a 100-liter spill can be fully contained and cleaned in under 10 minutes. Pair with a complete Spill Kit (Kleen Sweep powder, pads, PPE) for maximum efficiency.
Real-World Applications & Case Studies
- Seaports & Offshore: N-FIBER B620 was used at Van Phong Port (2024) to contain a tanker spill, recovering 85% of oil within 2 hours and preventing coral reef contamination.
- Industrial Zones: Formosa Ha Tinh uses B410 booms to handle machinery leaks, reducing river pollution by 70%.
- Rivers & Construction Sites: Combined with silt curtains to prevent spills from bridge projects (similar applications seen globally).
Internationally, comparable SpillBoa products recovered 28 gallons of oil using just four booms on the Mississippi River (Halen Hardy, 2025).
