The Integrated System of FILTRATION, the waste-management and waste-to-energy power plant megastructure, can be summarized as follows:
Transport to Apex of the Building: The seawater, along with the collected garbage, is pumped to the top of the skyscraper.
Filtration and Separation: At the apex of the building, the system filters the water and separates recyclable materials from non-recyclable ones. This process cleans the seawater and extracts valuable recyclables.
Gravity-Based Distribution: The filtered water and recyclable materials are then distributed down the building using gravity. This eliminates the need for complex conveyor systems used in traditional Material Recovery Facilities.
Tidal Power Transport: Non-recycled materials and the recyclables are transported away from the tower using tidal power, ensuring efficient waste management.
Modular Attachments: FILTRATION's core structure allows for various facilities and plants to be attached, such as Plastic Recycling Facilities and Waste-to-energy Power Plants, which can be arranged vertically around the tower's foundation.
Modular and Replaceable Components: Most of the facilities are composed of modular parts, making it possible to replace and customize components as needed.
Sustainability and Regeneration: This system provides a sustainable and regenerative solution to floating waste, addressing the issue of marine debris while also contributing to waste-to-energy production and a more harmonious relationship between nature and humanity.
The FILTRATION is a multifaceted waste management and recycling system that efficiently processes floating garbage in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, generates energy from waste, and promotes sustainability through its modular and adaptable design.
