The Seabin Project
The Seabin Project is an automated trash bin that catches floating rubbish, oil, fuel & detergents.
The Seabin Project is an automated rubbish bin that catches floating rubbish, oil, fuel and detergents. It designed for floating docks in the water of marinas, private pontoons, inland waterways, residential lakes, harbours, water ways, ports and yacht clubs. The Seabin is situated at the waters surface and is plumbed into a shore based water pump on the dock. The water gets sucked into the Seabin bringing all floating debris and floating liquids into the Seabin. We have the option of installing an oil/water separator and clean water then flows back into the ocean. This process operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A natural fiber “catch bag” collects all the floating debris. If the Seabin is full it still works. The flow of the water simply pulls all the surrounding floating debris against the Seabin and keeps it there. The marina worker would simply scoop up the surrounding debris and then change the catch bag as normal.
