Sustainable filtering device for collecting floating debris

摘要

An assembly for being dragged by a vessel, wherein the assembly includes a filtering system and a fluidum guiding system, wherein the filtering system is suitable for filtering large volumes of fluidum, and wherein the fluidum guiding system defines a channel configured such that at least in a channel portion the current velocity of the fluidum guided through that channel portion is reduced downstream, and wherein the fluidum guiding system and the filtering system are mutually arranged such that current velocity of fluidum filtered in the filtering system is reduced for decreasing drag.

1. An assembly for being dragged by a vessel, the assembly comprising
a filtering system comprising an inlet, and a fluidum guiding system defining a channel which increases in cross-sectional area from a fluidum inlet, wherein the inlet of the filtering system is at a position in or at the end of the channel at a point of largest cross-sectional area such that velocity of fluidum is reduced from the fluidum inlet to the inlet of the filtering system.
