A pollutant containment system for containing the spillage of fuels or other hydrocarbons or the like comprises a first layer (14,60), a containment vessel (16) for receiving liquid passing through the layer (14) and channelling means (22) for directing liquid permeating through the layer towards the containment vessel (16). The layer (14) provides a plurality of active surfaces for the retention of pollutant and is such as to cause water to permeate through the layer at a flow rate to avoid emulsification of oil and water. Water is introduced into and removed from the containment vessel to raise and lower the water surface thereby to cause the pollutant to be smeared over the active surfaces.

L'invention concerne un système de confinement de polluants, destiné à contenir le déversement accidentel de carburants ou d'autres hydrocarbures ou similaires, qui comprend une première couche (14, 60), une enceinte de confinement (16) destinée à recevoir le liquide passant à travers la couche (14) et des moyens de canalisation (229 pour diriger le liquide passant par perméation à travers la couche en direction de l'enceinte de confinement (16). Ladite couche (14) comporte une pluralité de surfaces actives pour retenir le polluant et se présente de manière à induire le passage de l'eau par perméation à travers la couche, à une vitesse d'écoulement pour éviter l'émulsification de l'huile et de l'eau. L'eau est introduite dans l'enceinte de confinement et en est retirée pour augmenter et abaisser la surface de l'eau, afin que le polluant concerné s'étale sur les surfaces actives.
