We keep these booms staged at every loading dock. When a hydraulic line blew on one of our yard trucks, the crew had a containment barrier around the spill in under two minutes. Absorbency is excellent — the boom soaked up diesel and hydraulic fluid without taking on rainwater. Will absolutely reorder.

Product Overview
The Super Swamp Containment Boom (100 ft) is a specialized shallow-water containment boom engineered for marshes, swamps, wetlands, and other low-draft environments where conventional booms cannot operate effectively. Its unique low-profile design allows deployment in water as shallow as a few inches while still providing effective oil and debris containment.
Constructed with durable PVC-coated fabric and closed-cell foam flotation, this boom weighs just 90 lbs per 100-foot section. Aluminum universal connectors allow linking multiple sections for barriers of any length.
Backed by AbsorbentsOnline -- trusted since 1985 -- this boom meets EPA, OSHA, and USCG compliance requirements. Ships FREE to the Continental US.

Expert Insights
With 40+ years in the industrial spill response business, AbsorbentsOnline recommends non-absorbent containment booms for permanent or semi-permanent deployment where the goal is to corral and contain oil spills rather than absorb them. These booms work best alongside skimmers, vacuum trucks, and absorbent booms that handle the actual oil recovery.
Choosing the right boom model depends on your deployment environment: EconoMax for calm, protected waters and budget-conscious operations. Super Swamp for marshes, wetlands, and shallow-water environments. Simplex for moderate open-water conditions at a mid-range price point. OptiMax I (19 in. height) and OptiMax II (20 in. height) for heavy-duty open-water, harbor, and marine terminal applications.
Pro Tip: Always deploy more boom length than you think you need -- currents shift and spills spread. Stock anchor systems and tow bridles so crews can secure and reposition booms quickly during active response.

Why Non-Absorbent Containment Booms Are Essential
Non-absorbent containment booms are the first line of defense in any oil spill response plan. Unlike absorbent booms that soak up petroleum, containment booms create a physical barrier that corrals oil, trash, and debris on the water surface — allowing skimmers and vacuum equipment to recover the spill efficiently. For large-scale incidents, containment booms are more cost-effective than absorbent booms because they can be cleaned, redeployed, and reused across multiple spill events.
Engineered for Containment Performance
The Super Swamp Containment Boom is purpose-engineered for the most challenging deployment environments — shallow water, marshes, swamps, tidal flats, and vegetation-heavy waterways where standard booms cannot function. Its reinforced PVC-coated fabric shell resists abrasion from rocks, roots, and aquatic vegetation.
The specialized low-draft flotation system maintains containment effectiveness in water depths as shallow as a few inches, making this the only boom in our lineup specifically designed for wetland protection, drainage ditch containment, and environmentally sensitive shallow-water operations.
Meets Federal Spill Response Requirements
This containment equipment supports compliance with the following regulations:
- EPA 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1) — Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans require facilities storing oil to maintain adequate containment and cleanup materials on-site.
- EPA 40 CFR 122.26 — NPDES Stormwater Management requires industrial facilities to prevent oil and pollutants from entering storm drains and waterways.
- 33 CFR 154.1047(c)(2) — Facility Response Plans require pre-positioned sorbent materials for waterfront facilities handling petroleum.
- OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 — HAZWOPER standards require trained responders and appropriate equipment for hazardous substance spill response.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this boom absorb oil?
No. Non-absorbent containment booms are designed to contain, corral, and deflect oil spills on water -- not absorb them. They work best alongside skimmers, vacuum trucks, or absorbent booms that handle actual oil recovery. For absorbent booms that soak up oil, see our Oil-Only Absorbent Booms.
Can I connect multiple boom sections together?
Yes. All boom sections feature universal connectors (aluminum or heavy-duty) at both ends. You can link as many sections as needed to create a continuous containment barrier of any length.
Which boom model should I choose?
It depends on your environment: EconoMax for calm protected waters on a budget. Super Swamp for marshes and shallow water. Simplex for moderate open-water conditions. OptiMax I (19 in. height) and OptiMax II (20 in. height) for heavy-duty open-water and marine applications.
Does this boom meet EPA and USCG requirements?
Yes. All our non-absorbent containment booms meet EPA, OSHA, and USCG regulatory compliance requirements for spill containment and response.
How do I anchor deployed boom sections?
Use our Danforth-type Anchor System, which connects to any boom with universal connectors. For every 200 feet of deployed boom, we recommend at least 2 anchor systems. Tow bridles are also available for repositioning booms with boats.
Do you offer bulk or government pricing?
Yes. Volume discounts and government POs accepted. GSA-friendly. Contact sales@absorbentsonline.com or call (800) 869-9633.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
-
We deploy these booms around our fuel dock and along the marina perimeter during storm season. The snap-clip connectors make it easy to chain 20+ booms into a continuous barrier. They float well even after absorbing a significant amount of oil. Great product for SPCC compliance.
-
Ordered multiple cases for our distribution centers across three states. Free shipping saved us a bundle, and they arrived within the quoted lead time. The white color is a plus — makes it dead simple to see saturation levels so the crew knows exactly when to swap booms during a response.
