DREVO River Rover Clean
DREVO River Rover Clean

Autonomous system for cleaning rivers, lakes and reservoirs

DREVO River Rover Clean— a robotic multifunctional platform for the comprehensive cleaning of rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs. It is designed to operatefrom source to mouth, ensuring the removal of debris, excess silt, wood debris and pollutants with minimal impact on the ecosystem.

In the systemDREVO Living MountainsRiver Rover Clean is one of the main tools for watershed restoration.

The main task is not just to collect garbage, but to restore the river to its natural self-purification processes.

Main tasks

Cleaning the water surface.

Cleaning of the water column.

Cleaning the bottom.

Removal of plastic waste.

Collection of wood debris.

Raising sunken timber.

Removal of excess sludge.

Search for scrap metal.

Extraction of tires.

Collection of construction waste.

Cleaning of spawning grounds.

Restoration of the natural riverbed.

Main modules

Surface Cleaning Module

Removes:

plastic;

bottles;

wood;

leaves;

foam plastic;

algal clusters;

oil films (using specialized sorbents).

Underwater Cleaning Module

Works:

below the surface;

along the banks;

near the snags;

around the stones.

Removes:

garbage;

networks;

cables;

plastic.

Bottom Recovery Module

Intended for:

removing debris from the bottom;

restoration of spawning grounds;

clearing stone channels.

Working tools:

soft grips;

vacuum collector;

hydraulic manipulators;

magnetic separator for ferromagnetic objects.

Sediment Management Module

Used for:

removal of excess sludge;

depth restoration;

cleaning of spring outlets.

It operates with adjustable suction power to avoid damaging the natural structure of the bottom as much as possible.

Timber Recovery Module

Search:

bog wood;

large logs;

sunken trunks.

The lift is carried out:

winches;

inflatable lifting cylinders;

floating platforms DREVO River Cargo Platform.

Metal Recovery Module

Used to search:

scrap metal;

anchors;

pipes;

chains;

bicycles;

techniques.

Tools:

magnetic grippers;

mechanical pliers;

underwater cameras.

Unique technical solutions

Adaptive Eco Intake

The suction system automatically reduces power when it detects:

fish;

amphibians;

large invertebrates;

plants.

Smart Sediment Separation

The extracted material is divided into:

open;

sand;

gravel;

wood;

metal;

plastic;

organic remains.

Living Bottom Mode

When working in ecologically valuable areas, the system preserves:

large boulders;

natural driftwood;

spawning areas;

colonies of bivalve mollusks;

root systems of coastal plants.

Floating Cargo Connection

All heavy materials are automatically transferred to:

DREVO River Cargo Platform;

floating containers;

coastal stations.

Navigation

Used:

RTK GNSS;

inertial navigation;

LiDAR;

population;

sonar;

stereo cameras;

underwater cameras.

Artificial intelligence

DREVO AI recognizes:

plastic;

wood;

metal;

open;

spawning grounds;

driftwood;

boulders;

rare plants;

animals.

The safest method of operation is selected for each object.

Working with silt

Silt is classified into categories:

CategoryAction
Pure mineralReturn to restoration projects or use in reclamation after analysis
OrganicComposting or use after safety assessment
ContaminatedTransfer to specialized processing or disposal
Historically contaminatedIsolation and handling according to environmental safety requirements

Working with wood

The material is automatically divided:

fresh wood;

natural deadwood;

large blockages;

bog wood;

wood for DREVO Timber Reserve;

wood for processing.

Working with plastic

Separation:

PET;

HDPE;

PP;

films;

fishing nets;

mixed plastic.

Working with metal

Sorting:

steel;

cast iron;

aluminum;

copper;

stainless steel.

Handling biological waste

The following stand out:

seaweed;

reed;

rug;

leaves;

wood remains.

Possible directions:

compost;

biogas;

mulch;

biofertilizers.

The main principle

DREVO River Rover Clean cleans the river while preserving its living structure.

Instead of total mechanical clearing, the system usesselective, environmentally oriented approach, in which pollution and dangerous obstacles are removed, and natural elements - boulders, part of the fallen tree trunk, root systems, spawning grounds and habitats of aquatic organisms - are preserved, whenever possible, as the basis of a healthy river ecosystem.
