Design and Fabrication of Seabin Project for Efficient Collection of Water Waste Using Solar Energy

Abstract

Abstract: Water bodies across the world are facing existential crises. The human settlements are regularly dumping off the garbage and refuse to clean the water bodies. This is a major environmental hazard and causes a degradation of water bodies and affects the overall food chain. This work is emphasized on the design and fabrication of a floating debris interception device i.e. Seabin to curb this problem. The idea is simple if we can have garbage bins on land, why not have them in the ocean as well. The Seabin works in such a way that the water is pumped out of the catch bucket that is already submerged in the water. Through this suction, the water with all its floating litter collects in the bucket. The catch bag accumulates litter, separating it from the water. The water is again pumped out of the bucket. This whole process takes place simultaneously and fresh batches of litter settle down in the catch bag until the limits get exhausted.
