ABSTRACT:
A pollution containment fence or barrier retains petroleum products, or other floatable material, from a flowing stream of liquid. The barrier includes a series of vertically "stacked" baffles. When in operating position the barrier extends across the breadth of the stream and to any desired distance above and below the surface of the liquid. The baffles are spaced apart with each baffle overlapping a portion of the baffle or baffles adjacent to it to form a passageway between each baffle for flow of the liquid stream through the barrier. In cross section each baffle may comprise two straight members perpendicular to and extending in opposite directions to a third straight member or each baffle may comprise a semicircle in cross section.
