Easy ocean cleaning

SurfCleaner is a Swedish tech company that designs, develops, and produces hybrid skimmer separators for the total removal, separation, and recovery of solid and liquid floating pollution. The company’s goal is to achieve an annual global CO2 reduction of 2.5 million tons by 2030. That is equivalent to the annual emissions of over 540,000 passenger vehicles.

Category

Traditional methods of managing ocean pollution include using boats and nets, or cleaning beaches by hand.

Subcategory

This brilliant technology is patented and trademarked, making it hard to identify a similar product in the same category.

The product floats largely below the water’s surface, creating a negative pressure on the bottom of the SurfCleaner.Water is then sucked in at the top, while the pressure inside forces the pollution upwards, and then transferring the clean water down and out of the SurfCleaner.

The SurfCleaner is a carbon-neutral product. It doesn’t need power, hydraulics, or a pump; everything is done through physics using the applied forces of gravity, rotation velocity, densities, and more.

The founder is a former cardiologist who adapted his research on the heart’s inflow function to the Surfcleaner’s core design.

SurfCleaner’s business is segmented into four different categories: Cleaning industrial wastewater from oil and other substances, oil spill and recovery, and water treatment.

Preem, Esso, Circle K, and the Swedish coast guard are among SurfCleaner’s customers, and their American partner,UltraTech, is currently introducing the product, including a smaller, portable version, across the USA.
