FLOW
About
FLOW is a floating screening station that detects invisible petroleum pollutants in rivers and lakes in real time. It uses UV fluorescence to identify oil-derived compounds, drawing water passively from below the surface. Powered by wind and battery, each unit operates autonomously and transmits data wirelessly to a shared platform. FLOW creates a visible, accessible environmental monitoring system that empowers communities with actionable information and helps prevent ecological disasters before they happen
