Suggested solution for the water hyacinths: Could the interceptor have a camera detecting what is about to enter it and if it detects the level of water hyacinths is above a certain threshold, it activates a diverter/bypass, blocking entry to the interceptor and allowing everything in the barrier to bypass the system until the water hyacinths concentration is below the threshold? This could also be manually activated by operators as a precautionary measure ahead of weather events that are likely to cause issues. Yes, this might mean some rubbish gets missed while the interceptor is in divert/bypass mode, but weigh that against the downtime of a clogged system or the bins getting emptied with mostly water hyacinths in them...
@Kiyarose3999

A slight modification, If the Interceptors had a panel that went from the back where the rubbish is collected, out a few feet and dipped 6-12 inches below the surface, it would catch hold of the floating vegetation. Pushing it under the interceptor, leaving the plastic floating, and into the interceptor. Cos the vegetation will have part of it below the surface, unlike plastic that floats on top of the water.

You need a break away system on the boom that releases on an over load and can be reset. The system could still have a long line connected to the boom so the boom could be hauled back in and reattached. Although a mechanism like a ski boot binding could work, also a cheap aluminum pin that shears in case of a boat collision or storm over load.

Congratulations to the entire team on splendid work on this project. I have a suggestion, "Automated SORTING Mechanism" you can implement automated sorting using robotic arms or some other mechanism that will separate the organic matter from plastics. I believe some systems exists out there that can do this tedious and difficult task using high speed cameras, robotic arms, air guns that literally blow the lighter plastic material off the conveyor into a secondary collection unit. I emphasize sorting because, it appears there is just too much garbage in most rivers and you would probably end up collecting too much organic material which would end up decomposing in the open anyways. I know that will be the case when you use this system in most of South East Asian rivers and Indian rivers.

Amazing work on the Interceptors! Now its time to make them more efficient. I see a lot of water plants are gathered and collected in the bins. Are they also recylcled or are they just waste of space in the bins? A sorting application could be implemented using robots above the conveyor. You could use a vision system to identify plants / natural materials and remove them from the conveyor using waterproof robots (IP67). This would result in a higher ratio of plastic to plants and the time to replace the bins would increase.

The plants you are seeing here are water hyacinth, which are a non-native and invasive species. Removing them is actually beneficial to the river life, so it's a bit of a bonus. Any organic waste is sorted by the local waste management, who make the decision on which organic matter should be returned to the river to keep the ecosystem intact.

@@theoceancleanup "local waste management make the decision..." Your project is absolutely amazing. I've been following for years and tell my friends about it, and you guys are true heroes. But I do slightly worry about unintended consequences of removing floating vegetation... such as water hyacinth in places where it is native (South America), or coarse woody debris. What would rely on that vegetation downstream? What will be the effect of removing that carbon sink of biological matter into the deep ocean? Anyway, right now as your videos make abundantly clear, biological matter (even water hyacinth) is outweighed substantially by human trash. So thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for your vision, your skill and your sheer persistence.

Ocean CleanUp is doing so much 💪on a global scale to help clean Oceans and Rivers. Is anything else being done on the ground by local Governments to help educate people about the importance of taking care of their environment (especially those leaving in coastal lines)? Can local Governments provide more resources (trash containers or frequent regular pickup of trash) so people can take ownership of their environment and keep it clean for the health and safety of their children, and future generations. Perhaps getting local team to volunteer and organize coastal clean ups every month will also help. I don’t leave anywhere near a body of water, but I would totally volunteer. just saying; 😌
