SubsidieMeestersDevelopment of a biomimetic prototype to reduce microplastics emissions
The "SuspensionFlow" project aims to develop a household washing machine filtration unit inspired by suspension feeding fish to reduce microplastics emissions from wastewater.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Within ERC Starting Grant “Mech-Evo-Insect”, we have identified a new principle to filter small particles such as microplastics from water.
Filtration Principle
This filtration principle is used in a variety of organisms, but one particular example, the filtration used by suspension feeding fish, is promising to filter diverse waste waters.
Project Idea
The idea of the PoC “SuspensionFlow” is to transfer this principle to a filtration unit which can be used in all household washing machines to reduce global microplastics emissions.
Patenting Discoveries
SuspensionFlow will also serve to further patent relevant discoveries based on the filtration used by suspension feeding fish.
