JELLYFISH BOOM

Developed out of antipollution barrier technology, JELLYFISH BOOM® is a non-rigid boom designed to protect beaches, swimming areas and others from large floating waste, oil and foam, plastic bags and waste moving just below the surface including jellyfish. Quick to set-up, the JELLYFISH BOOM® barrier is used as preventive measure. It helps to:

• ensure the cleanliness of swimming areas;
• protect sea water pumping stations from industrial sites.

The JELLYFISH BOOM® is made up of standard 25 m length sections. Each section is made up of a succession of flat foam rubber blocks in waterproof membranes, and a chain protected by a hem acting as a ballast and ensuring the mechanical resistance of the whole.

Designed in the form of compartmentalised foam rubber, JELLYFISH BOOM® is characterised by the lightness and flexibility, making it easy to set-up and follow perfectly the movements of the surface of the water. The flatness of the float means that storage space is reduced to a minimum amount. It can be folded up into a box, or wound onto a manual or hydraulically driven reel. Connecting the sections is simple and quick to do, no tools are necessary. The submerged part is made of a white net with a 25 mm mesh and a standard 2 m height. The ballast on the lower part is made of a 100 to 300 g/ml 3-strand rope as requested.

A safe, resistant product

The closed cell rubber foam used in making the float gives it perfect buoyancy, even if it is accidentally torn. Moreover the use of foam rubber dispenses with the need to inflate and deflate when being put into use or stored. The float is perfectly smooth to avoid any bodily grazing.

A mean of communication - photo 4

Apart from being an excellent barrier to floating debris, the JELLYFISH BOOM® with its 15 cm freeboard (part above the water) is an excellent space for communication (signalling, identity, advertising).

The coloured net for good signalling has a light ballast and perfectly takes on the shape of the sea bed while at the same time preserving the flora and fauna.
