Draft #1 Summary of Article titled: Introducing the Seabin Project
According to the article “Introducing the Seabin Project” (2018), the Seabin works like a filter that captures pollutants in the water, separates them from the water, and makes it clean. The article stated that the Seabin has its own power source that actuates a motor to “pump water to create a vortex”, making pollutants in the water get sucked into the Seabin. The pollutants are then captured by a “catch-bag”, allowing only water to flow through. However, it cannot capture bulky objects. The article also mentioned that the Seabin is able to collect microplastic fibers, and absorb “petroleum-based oils and detergents.” Although the Seabin is made with recyclable materials, the project team wishes to make the catch-bag recyclable, and improve the Seabin’s power sourcing.
