Marina Ibiza and Marina Port de Mallorca 1-Year Anniversary of Water-Cleaning Robot.
Water-cleaning device, Geneseas has been sailing the waters of these marinas for a year now. Capturing pollutants including floating waste, micro plastics and oils as well as constantly analysing water quality.
IPM and IMG Group facilities focus heavily on the care and preservation of the environment, constantly seeking optimal ways to improve understanding and raise awareness amongst their clients.
Using an app, Geneseas can be programmed to travel over the entire surface of the port water and clean in automatic -or manual mode via remote control- and has a 140-litre capture capacity. This clever bit of kit can be charged via its solar panels or by conventional electricity.
The device uses suction on the water surface and natural fibre recyclable filters to capture oil. It also checks the PH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and redox levels of the water, amongst other data. These parameters are logged in real time and location thanks to the integrated GPS system, making the data easy to analyse via its app.
The introduction of Geneseas in our marinas is part of the environmental and marine preservation programme and has been a major step forward in efforts to care for the flora and fauna of the Balearic Islands.
In addition to this, both marinas possess several quality and environmental seals and certifications, such as the Blue Flag, the Carbon Footprint Registry, EMAS and ISO 14001 with the “5-Star Marina” classification by the IMCI, primarily for its continuing environmental strategy policy.
