Remora Boat

The background issue this project covers is mostly about water and sea pollution; focusing on spilled oil from boats, ships, etc. into the ocean water. This project could help remove the oil spills in the sea to avoid further damage to aquatic life. This project of ours can do the following task due to it having a section with vacuum pipes below it that is connected to a sensor which allows it to detect locations of spilled oil. As for the contaminated water that was vacuumed, it will undergo a gravity separation process inside our boat that will be done in a tank. This tank will help separate the water and the oil as there’ll be a barrier in between. The clean water and the oil will be released separately as the process is done. This boat does not need any human supervision since it will be controlled automatically by a GPS and a sensor that is used to detect oil spills. Without any presence of human supervision means that it could help clean oil from the sea in a safer way compared to the old way.
