Design Summary & Analysis Draft #3

Introducing the Seabin Project  - Summary Analysis Draft # 3 MEC1281 Summary Analysis Draft #3  By Lek Jia Yu 21st Feb 2021 In the article "Introducing the Seabin Project" (2018), Jateff highlights the benefits of Seabin as a front-line approach to countering plastic pollution by capturing surface debris near land before it escapes into the ocean. The author mentions that many sea-creatures are harmed due to the eight million tons of pollutant, mostly plastic, added to the ocean yearly. The author explains that the shore-powered Seabin uses a motor to create a whirlpool, filtering the debris from water into a catch-bag and ejecting clean water back out. The Seabin is also equipped with oil absorbent pads that clean surface water of oil containments. However, the author mentions that the Seabin needs to be placed strategically for maximised collection due to being unable to capture debris from a distance. The author claims that the Seabin is still developing a "zero-carbo...
