What Trash Can the Orion Boom Contain?
Floating debris brought in by wind, water currents, and waves can damage your facilities and equipment. Orion Floating Debris Booms are used for both long-term and short-term protection in lakes, rivers, streams, and golf courses. Its ability to remain strong against currents, waves, and tides has made it a great choice for a wide range of debris containment as an algae barrier or trash containment boom.

- Golf Balls
- Seaweed Barriers/Control

Floating Standard Containment Boom Deployment
Deployment and setup for your floating trash and debris boom will depend on your water area and the type of protection required for your location. While intakes may require a barrier that blocks off the opening/intake area, other locations may require a setup that allows the debris to wash up along the shoreline. For best results, a standard containment boom should be installed at a 30 to 45 degree angle perpendicular to the direction of the water flow.
Due to their impermeable design, each floating trash boom is built for use with a wide range of floating particles. Whether you need to contain small plastics around a lake or collect large debris after a natural disaster, such as a tsunami, hurricane, or flood, we have a boom that can help with your requirements.
