Abstract
A system, method for forming, and a method of manufacturing a boom for the containment of contaminants, wherein the system includes a cover and an adsorbent material disposed within the cover. The adsorbent material may be formed of at least one sheet of flexible, adsorbent fabric folded upon itself within the elongated cover. Additionally, the adsorbent material disposed within the elongated cover may form a non-cylindrical cross-section, and the flexible, adsorbent fabric forming the adsorbent material may be at least partially a polyester material.
