Plastic particle pump
23.580 - Micro plastic particle pump:
Application:
KC Denmark's Micro Plastic Particle Pump was originally
developed during KC Denmark's participation in the EU project named
CleanSea, the goal for the original project was to measure plastic
particles in oceans and lakes with extreme precision in the amount
of water sampled.
The sampler is able to run sampling on 4 different mesh sizes
doing one deployment, while keeping a precise account on the total
amount of water it has been pumping, due to its very flexible range
of filter sizes (ranging from 1000 µm down to 100 µm), it has
proven itself a very useful tool in sampling plastic particles in
the ocean as well as lakes.
As a counter part to the more well known Manta Trawl net the
pump's onboard computer gives users the chance to program the
precise amount of water they want sampled, ensuring them a very
precise data that is fully able to be compared with other samples
done with similar pumps with very high scientific guarantees; this
is primary due to the fact that the water pumped is first measured
after it has gone through the filters preventing any faulty data
with organic material clucking up the filter sample area.
