Method, apparatus, and system for aquatic microplastics removal
A method, apparatus, and system are provided, utilize a floating treatment wetland designed specifically for the sequestration of microplastic debris (i.e., plastic particles under 5 nm) from active water systems. This process can be achieved through the careful selection of a root structure combined with the development of a robust housing for the wetland pad, so that it may operate effectively in fast current conditions. Disclosed is a hydrodynamic fiberglass frame to encase and stabilize the floating treatment wetland during storm surges. The design of this frame may be adapted to encourage optimal flow to the underside of the wetland, in order to maximize the amount of water exposed to the wetland's biofilm filter.
