Spill containment berms can ensure containment solutions for fuel tanker trucks, large IBC totes and frac tanks. They provide a way to help prevent hazardous liquids from polluting soil and water ways. A heavy duty containment berm that acts like a catch basin .
Client: Mid-Sized Oil & Gas Terminal
Industry: Oil & Gas / Marine Facilities
Challenge
At this terminal, daily operations involve loading and unloading tanker trucks and containers with oil and fuel. Routine washdowns and accidental drips risk contaminating nearby storm drains. The site needed a quick, reliable solution that prevents spills from reaching sensitive waterways without lengthy deployment time or construction.
Solution
We supplied our Ultra-Spill Berm, a portable, non-absorbing urethane barrier. It’s fast to deploy (just unfold), creates a liquid-tight seal—even around cracks—and prevents hazardous material from flowing into drains. Its reusable, easily cleaned design integrates seamlessly into daily operations.
Results
Immediate spill containment—spills stopped at the source, away from drains.
Rapid deployment—teams can set up and secure the berm in under two minutes.
Regulatory peace of mind—helps meet SPCC secondary containment requirements (e.g., EPA 40 CFR 264.175)
Customer Feedback
“The spill berm is a game changer—they stack neatly, deploy instantly, and avoid costly spill remediation. It’s now standard equipment across all our loading bays.”
This project establishes a comprehensive oil spill prevention and containment infrastructure across six large refueling berths at a Saudi Arabian port, covering a total area of 7,000 square meters.
Designed to meet stringent environmental and operational standards, the project integrates oil containment booms, absorbent materials, portable collection tank, oil skimmer and specialized vessel mooring equipments to prevent and manage potential oil spills during maritime refueling operations.
Key Project Components1. Oil Containment Fence Boom
Floating PVC Oil Containment Booms: High-density polyethylene containment barriers will encircle all refueling zones.
2. Absorbent Materials:Hydrophobic polypropylene pads (200 packs stockpiled) and oil absorbent booms (50 packs stockpiled) : Capture residual oil sheens, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
3. Oil Skimmer : Simple, dependable and effective machines for removing oil, grease and other hydrocarbons from water.
4. Mooring & Refueling Systems :Integrated sensors will track water quality and trigger alarms for immediate response in case of leakage detection.
By integrating advanced technology, robust infrastructure, and comprehensive safety protocols, this oil spill prevention plan aims to safeguard marine ecosystems while supporting the efficient and sustainable growth of maritime refueling operations in Saudi Arabia.
A diesel oil leak was discovered in the southern waters of Singapore, caused by a damaged shore fuel hose on an island near Sentosa,about 23 tonnes of oil leaked
Incident OverviewAn unexpected oil spill occurred near Sentosa Island, Singapore, threatening the pristine coastline and marine ecosystem. The spill, caused by a vessel collision required immediate action to prevent environmental damage and protect tourism-sensitive areas .
Clients Challenge
Local distributors urgently sought solutions to: 1. Contain the spread of oil slicks efficiently. 2. Absorb spilled hydrocarbons while minimizing harm to marine life. 3 .Restore water quality to meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.
Deployed SolutionsNTNICE supplied the following products through our Singaporean partners:
1.Oil AbsorbenPads & Rolls: High-capacity, hydrophobic materials designed to rapidly soak up oil without absorbing water.2 .Oil Absorbent Booms: Floating barriers with ultra-absorbent cores to encapsulate and concentrate oil for safe removal.3. Containment Booms: Durable, UV-resistant barriers to prevent spill migration to sensitive coastal zones.
Technical Advantages
1.Eco-Friendly Materials: 100% recyclable and non-toxic, ensuring no secondary pollution.2. Fast Deployment: Lightweight design allowed rapid on-site assembly, critical for time-sensitive cleanup.3. Superior Absorption: Absorbed 20x their weight in oil, outperforming conventional alternatives.
Implementation & Results
Phase 1 – Containment:Containment booms were strategically deployed within 6 hours to isolate the spill, preventing further spread to Sentosa’s beaches.Phase 2 – Absorption:Absorbent booms and pads were positioned across the affected area, with replacement cycles managed to maximize efficiency.Phase 3 – Recovery:Contaminated materials were collected and processed via certified recycling facilities, aligning with Singapore’s zero-waste policies.
Outcomes
98% Oil Recovery Rate: Minimized ecological impact, preserving marine biodiversity.48-Hour Cleanup Completion: Accelerated restoration of tourism activities, critical for Sentosa’s economy.Regulatory Praise: Compliant with Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA) standards, earning recognition for sustainable practices.
