The Solution

A growing need

New regulations for Secondary Spill Oil Containment have created a growing need for practical, effective Secondary Spill Oil Containment and Oil Leak Management systems. With costs for soil remediation increasing, current industrial alternatives remain cost prohibitive or fail to provide adequate protection. Innovative SorbWeb™ Plus passive oil spill containment technology lets you manage oil spill risk efficiently with lower capital outlays while virtually eliminating maintenance costs.


SorbWeb™ Plus SOC Features

Kinectrics’ economical SorbWeb™ Plus secondary oil containment system is an effective and reliable passive system that provides continuous protection against oil spills and leaks associated with transformers, capacitors, storage tank facilities and other oil-filled equipment. SorbWeb™ Plus SOC seals only on coming in contact with oil in the containment area. Until the system seals, it will allow water from rain or snowmelt to pass through its “smart” barrier layers without accumulating, while retaining any oil that might leak from the transformer.


SorbWeb™ Plus SOC Benefits

  • Engineered containment system using electrical utility best practices to contain rainfall event, deluge and transformer oil volume
  • Unique flexible design to fit equipment arrangement
  • Minimum site intrusion / disturbance required for installation
  • Passive secondary oil containment and leak management system
  • No maintenance costs
  • 24/7 protection in the event of a spill or leak
  • No mechanical or electrical control systems required


A unique design

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

Some of the SorbWeb™ Plus system components are:

  • A synthetic impermeable liner
  • An adsorbent filter layer
  • A retention layer of oil-absorbing material that seals on contact with hydrocarbons


Outstanding scientific performance

The SorbWeb™ Plus system has undergone extensive laboratory testing.

Proven real-world success

The SorbWeb™ Plus has been in use since 1996 at several sites in Canada. Successful containment of a 4,000-litre spill was achieved following an accident at a site located along the Don River in Toronto. [The SorbWeb™ installation had been in continuous service for 2 years prior to the incident.]

The SorbWeb™ Plus SOC system was developed in late 2002 and has been commissioned at several sites in Canada.
