ABOUT ECOLY
WHO WE ARE
ECOLY is a team of young entrepreneurs born from an innovation project, a new idea that aims to provide a reasonable and viable solution to one of the challenges posed by the FNOB (Fundació Navegació Oceànica Barcelona). This challenge consists in an improvement of the waters of the port of Barcelona orienting the project towards a scientific and / or biomedical field.
WHAT WE DO
The initial idea of the company is to carry out a study on the different methods of separation of oils and water already existing and to make an improvement taking into account the economy, the efficiency and that is ecological and biodegradable whenever it is possible.
HOW WE DO IT
The intention is to use superabsorbents, polymers capable of absorbing many times their own weight in polar liquids, that is, absorbing the oil from the surface layer of the water from the Port to separate it from it.
Once the oil has joined the polymer, be able to remove this union by means of machinery with renewable energy and then separate the oil from the polymer in order to reuse it to obtain an economic benefit thanks to the existing petroleum in Oil separated from water.
