Abstract

Urbanisation and population growth have increased Malaysia's water pollution levels while resulting in an increasing need for water. In Malaysia, the need for water in general and the quality of the water are major concerns. Lakes and reservoirs supply a variety of water resources, including those for domestic use, agriculture, navigation, hydroelectricity, commerce, and recreation. Since 98% of water comes from rivers, river pollution has been a significant issue. According to Malaysia's Department of Environment, 34 of the country's, 195 rivers are polluted. Due to its frequent use as a quick waste dump, Malaysia's Klang River is now among the most polluted rivers in the country. An oil-cleaning boat system powered by solar energy is demonstrated in this project. A fiber cloth as belt conveyor will be used on the boat to collect and separate the oil from the water. The navigation of the boat will be controlled by an RC remote. A battery and a solar panel will also be used to power the boat, the solar panel will be used to generate power for the battery to be continuously charged. The boat will be guaranteed to function for a long time due to it. The oil that is surfacing on the water will be collected by this boat system, which will then dump it into a tray. This project indicates the boat's controllable ability to gather oil from the water's surface, which could reduce river pollution.
