Shoreline cleanup equipment ( vacuum recovery, mechanical recovery and washing equipment)
Vacuum or mechanical recovery equipment can be used to recover pollutants deposited on the shoreline mechanically rather than manually. Washing equipment is designed to clean various surfaces contaminated by pollutants such as rocks, wood, concrete, vegetation,etc. These different types of equipment play an essential role in shoreline clean-up.
Custom tests
Aims
