Dubai Municipality (DM) has introduced a remotely controlled smart skimmer boat to clean up the emirate’s waterways. The skimmer, part of a 14-boat squad, operates from Deira to Dubai Water Canal, removing plastic bottles, tires, and other debris. The skimmer has a hydraulic lift with a capacity of 1,000kg and will be converted to electric power next year.

During the Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) in Dubai, a model of the smart skimmer boat was displayed at DM’s stand. The exhibition showcases technological advancements and trends in water, energy, environmental sustainability, and renewable energy. The development of the skimmer involved years of trial and error to adapt foreign technology to local conditions. The machine is equipped with cameras and artificial intelligence to prevent accidents and identify common types of waste.

The smart skimmer boat is designed to navigate busy waterways without obstructing other boats. The machine uses artificial intelligence to track the most common type of debris and where it is concentrated. Plastic bottles are among the most commonly collected debris, along with wooden parts from boats, tires, and other waste materials. The skimmer’s performance will be evaluated at the end of the year to determine the amount of waste collected and the efficacy of the technology.

At the exhibition, several companies showcased innovative technology focused on sustainability. Enoc presented the first smart biodiesel solar station, a biodiesel truck powered by solar energy. The vehicle, named Enoc Link, uses a mix of waste cooking oil and diesel for sustainable fuel delivery. The company plans to introduce digital delivery of Adblue, a component that reduces carbon emissions from vehicles. The technology aims to make fuel delivery more environmentally friendly.

The CEO of Enoc Link, Faisal Al Qahtani, explained the process of producing biodiesel and delivering it to clients using solar-powered trucks. The goal is to promote sustainable practices in the fuel industry, reduce carbon emissions, and contribute to environmental conservation efforts. The company’s innovative approach aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions in various industries. The exhibition highlighted the importance of adopting sustainable technology to address environmental challenges and promote a greener future.

In conclusion, the introduction of the smart skimmer boat and other sustainable technologies at the exhibition demonstrate Dubai’s commitment to environmental preservation and innovation. These initiatives aim to combat pollution, reduce waste, and promote sustainability in different sectors. By leveraging advanced technology and sustainable practices, Dubai Municipality and partnering companies are paving the way for a cleaner and greener future in the emirate and beyond.
