Silt and fine sediment capture mats
Floc Mat™ has been developed to capture silt and fine sediment suspended in water. The 1m by 2m Floc Mat™ can be laid flat, placed over a rock check or used to form a permeable curtain across a channel to help manage flow, increasing sedimentation where conditions allow.
Floc Mat™ provide a safe, cheap and easy solution to support the removal of pollutants from water. They are made from 100% natural fibres and are fully biodegradable.
Placed in natural and artificial channels, water moves over and through the Floc Mat™ to capture and trap silt within the deep natural fibres and is ideal for use with the Pipe Reactor.
Floc Mat™ come in untreated or treated forms, with treated versions having gel flocculant impregnated into the natural fibres to aid their silt binding performance.
