Function
Floating waste and hydrocarbons collecting device designed for marinas, inland waters and industry.
How it works
A powerful pump draws in water from behind the DPOL®. The sucked water is forced out through perforations in the center of the DPOL®, just a few centimeters above the surface. This flow creates a surface current that pollutants, whether solid or liquid, naturally follow and end up in the appropriate net.
Collected pollutants
Plastics, hydrocarbons, algae, foam, vegetation
Maximum size of collected waste : 50 cm
Set-up
Floating pollutants generally gather in a corner where wind and current have brought them. The DPOL® must therefore be positioned here to optimize its recovery performance. As the DPOL® can be easily moved without any equipment, its position is not definitive
It's launched by lowering it from a dock. Then moor it with its ropes. Once in place and moored, simply connecting the DPOL® to the power source starts the depollution action.
The DPOL® can be operated with a generator if the electrical network is not accessible.
Use
DPOL® requires minimal human intervention: emptying the nets.
When the net is full (this takes between 1 hour and 2 days, depending on how clean the port is), pull on the flexible handle with your hand or a pike pole, and the net will simply pull out. Then, empty it. The net is reusable and can then be put back in place. The operation takes less than 5 minutes.
Maintenance
DPOL® maintenance is quick, easy and inexpensive. We recommend cleaning/brushing it twice a month. Anodes should be changed once a year.
If required, we can supply spare parts.
DPOL® is made in France and guaranteed for 1 year.
