Sustainable developement goals
SurfCleaner removes, separates and recovers all floating pollutants from water surfaces
Collects and separates oil and other materials using a smart and proven technology. – Products available in different sizes depending on requirement. – The mobility of the product enables diverse applications. – The same product can be used for different applications and requirements. –
The need
Human society and industries generate immense amounts of pollution and waste that end up in nature and in the oceans. Clean water is becoming scarce and greenhouse gases need to be reduced, demanding highly efficient methods for cleaning polluted water urgently.
The solution
SurfCleaner designs, develops and manufactures the world’s first skimmer separator hybrids for 100 percent removal, separation and recovery of contaminants floating on the water surface – oil, diesel, petrol, plastics, sludge, debris, microplastics, algae and more. The separation process is patented and energy efficient, improving the quality of the water and reducing greenhouse gas emissions considerably. The product can be powered by solar cells, batteries or via grid connection.
The value proposition
- Automatic and continuous unmanned operation.
- Collects and separates multiple types of floating pollution.
- Very low water content in the recovered pollution – can be re-used.
- Energy efficient – off-grid operation possible.
- Low lifecycle cost due to minimal service and maintenance needs, including over long operation times.
- Very easy installation and deployment.
