Trash trawl
Collects floating marine waste from rivers
The PortBin TrashTrawl is a waste collector designed for rivers with a water current in the range 1-3 knots.
High speed booms are leading the waste into a collector. No energy needed for the collecting. Driven by the river current itself.
It is based on the same principles of a high speed boom system from oilspill recovery world.
It will collect larger volumes of waste cleverly using the river current itself.
No external energy needed. It is not hindring boats and other traffic on the river.
The waste ends up in large mesh sacks, easily emptied when filled up.
