Spill Containment System
What is Vacu-Boom?
The Vacu-Boom system is engineered to be used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications where chemicals and fluid waste must be contained and/or captured and removed from the site.
The Vacu-Boom is a hollow, flexible tube five inches in diameter that is placed directly on a hard surface to form a downslope side dam or to completely encircle the wash or containment area. The boom has a C shaped cross section with the open side down. There are small liquid inlet openings on the water side of the boom at the bottom edge. During use, the boom is connected by a 25 ft. vacuum hose to the portable wet vacuum recovery unit.
How does Vacu-Boom work?
When the wet vac system is turned on, the Vacu-Boom tightly seals
itself to the surface like a giant suction cup, to form an impervious
liquid barrier. Simultaneously, the waste water or other liquid is
extracted into the boom and travels with the airflow through the boom and
vacuum hose into the sump of the vacuum unit. The vacuum unit is
equipped with an automatic pump out system which discharges water through
a discharge hose into a holding tank, filter unit or sanitary sewer.
When containing highly toxic materials or flammable liquids that should not be drawn into the vacuum unit, the vacuum is used only to create a tight seal between the boom and the surface. The liquid is not extracted through the boom and vacuum.

What is included in a complete Vacu-Boom system?
Vacu-Booms can be assembled into a variety of configurations.
The basic element of a boom is a 5 foot long section. The sections are joined together
by devices called clips to form various lengths and shapes. Special fittings called
end caps are used as end closures and vac hose connection points. Other fittings
called center taps and square corners are available for certain configurations.
