| dc.description.abstract | With the increase in global plastic pollution in rivers/lakes which is adversely affecting the human and aquatic life. In this paper we present the design and analysis of Zero emission River Trash Cleaner (z-RTC) which is a electrically operated self-propelled floater with trash collecting arms and trash processing plant on the floater. The z-RTC collects the trash and the processing plant on the floater separates the plastic from the trash. The design and analysis of the z-RTC covers the general arrangement, stability, hydrodynamics and structural analysis. The collected plastic will be converted to lubricant oils by having an on-site pyrolysis plant. The last section of the paper discusses about the benefits and cost estimation of z-RTC. | |
