SorbWeb Plus

The SorbWeb™ Plus secondary oil containment system is an effective and reliable passive oil leak and spill management system that provides continuous protection against oil spills and leaks associated with transformers, capacitors, storage tank facilities and other oil-filled equipment. In its passive state the system allows water to move freely through its bottom “Smart Barrier” and pass through without accumulating. However, when hydrocarbons come in contact with the “Smart Barrier” it will undergo a physical change by congealing and sealing, turning into an impermeable membrane and thus preventing hydrocarbons from escaping the containment area.

 

A State of the Art Design

 

SorbWeb™ Plus is a gravity-based subterranean secondary oil containment system that surrounds oil-filled equipment with geosynthetic materials. The system effectively traps oil from catastrophic oil spills and leaks. The SorbWeb™ Plus secondary oil containment system critical components include:

 

A synthetic impermeable liner

An absorbent or adsorbent filter layer

A retention layer of smart oil-absorbing fabric that seals on contact with hydrocarbons

 

This green technology incorporates a state of the art design that allows for driveability, eliminates the need for sumps and pumps or oil water separators, does not require power to operate, and offers a virtually maintenance free alternative to conventional spill containment approaches.

 

Albarrie’s innovative SorbWeb™ Plus oil containment system is designed to meet both general and specific secondary containment requirements set out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) In Canada. The oil containment system will significantly reduce capital outlays, provide environmental protection and drastically lessen the economic consequences of an oil spill. No other oil containment system comes close to this level of performance and quality.
