At the Piossasco power plant, a hydrocarbon spill reached a watercourse. There was no free product, only very thin surface films, iridescent sheens and discontinuous hydrocarbon patches, which conventional barriers hold poorly. The goal was to contain the thin contamination and remove it progressively.
A single yellow barrier line crosses the watercourse (1 to 3) and holds the thin film on the water surface.
A single yellow barrier line crosses the watercourse (1 to 3) and holds the thin film on the water surface.
One T1 barrier line with FoamFlex stayed in place for the whole installation period, with no frequent wringing or replacement.
The contamination was thin films and sheens with no free product. Several lines of conventional barriers had already been used with limited or no result.
Operators installed a single T1 TF1 / FF barrier line with FoamFlex reusable oil-absorbent mat across the watercourse, held by an anchoring and positioning system.
The barrier stayed in place for the whole installation period of 25-30 days. It contained and intercepted the oil and allowed monitoring, with no frequent wringing or replacement.
Effective on very thin surface films, iridescent sheens and discontinuous hydrocarbon patches.
Reliable performance over the full 25-30 day exposure, with no frequent wringing or replacement.
Less maintenance and better operating efficiency. Fewer single-use absorbents used and less waste produced. An oil spill response contractor that worked with these materials in the field reported the results.
Products used in this intervention: Carpet with Boom coupling, Vertical Barrier – Modular FoamFlex Barrier system, Manual Wringer FF, FoamFlex Carpet 2.0, Absorbent Sock SLS20, single-use PP 300 x 20 cm.

Manual wringer for FoamFlex: fast reuse, no electricity needed, efficient oil recovery.
Absorbent mat with velcro on the long side to hook it onto the boom, velcro on both short sides to…
Reusable absorbent carpet with velcro and handles, ideal for all types of spills and compatible with FF-WRING.
In this case, yes. A single T1 TF1 / FF barrier line with FoamFlex contained and intercepted thin films, iridescent sheens and discontinuous patches that several lines of conventional barriers had not controlled.
25-30 days. It performed reliably over the whole period, with no frequent wringing or replacement.
FoamFlex is reusable, so the installation uses fewer single-use absorbents and produces less waste. It also needs less maintenance.
