SALVINIA Germany
Systems for cleaning oil-polluted waterways
SALVINIA is a system for removing oil pollution from inland and coastal waters. It uses a bionic textile, inspired by the Salvinia molesta plant, to physically separate oil from water without chemicals or energy. The reusable products (oil boom, mobile skimmer, stationary buoy) reduce waste, minimize maintenance, and allow for the recovery and recycling of the oil. The stationary buoy is solar-powered for illumination.
