Development of a floatation platform for a water trash collector / Muhammad Aidil Irfan Mat Nawi and Norhisyam Jenal

Our world is facing a major problem which is water pollution. Based on studies, plastic is the main reason for this pollution. But there is still a minimal amount of effort by society to clean the river due to lack of awareness. There is also a low amount of water trash collector products developed in the country. The objectives are to design a floatation platform of water trash collector and to fabricate and develop a working prototype of water trash collector floatation platform. While for scope of project, the design should be large enough to accommodate the water propeller, conveyor belt, and the storage tank to fit in it. Furthermore, the design of the platform is based on the capability of the researcher to fabricate the platform in the UiTM Labs. Moreover, the design is limited to a 1 m length to be used in ponds. This project will give many benefits to the society such as being a good assistance to relieve physical labour on garbage cleaning tasks. In conclusion, a new design of water trash collector is expected to be used widely around the country to clean the pond and river for a healthy water resource for society
