JFL Jellyfish & Litter Boom

Share

New Naval’s Jellyfish and Litter Containment (JFL) Boom is a cost-effective, multi-purpose system that is designed to contain and collect jellyfish, marine garbage and floating or submerged pollutants in a variety of applications both on the surface and below water. The protection of valuable assets, both natural and man-made, has become paramount with the rising amount of plastics in the oceans. It has become increasingly necessary to protect shorelines, harbors, water intakes, fisheries and other facilities from debilitating factors including increasing populations of jellyfish, phenomena such as red plume, litter and pollution.

Efficiently protect shorelines, harbors, and fisheries from jellyfish, debris, and pollution with this versatile, cost-effective solution.


Key Features

  • The permeable Polyamide nylon net attaches to the boom skirt extending the boom below the surface
  • The on-water boom is manufactured from high visibility PVC coated PES fabric, fabricated with High Frequency Thermal Welding
  • Cylindrical floats within the boom are made of closed-cell PET foam
  • Enforced axial tension is provided by two tension members; enclosed PET webbing and a Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) Chain providing structure and form to the boom
  • The system can be deployed to contain oil spills or any other hazardous (solid, semi-solid and in some cases even liquid) pollutants
  • In the case of the skirt becoming damaged it can be replaced independently without having to replace the whole boom
  • Certified by the Greek National Laboratory as a non-toxic substance and is government approved by the Greek Ministry of Shipping
