INTRODUCTION
Plastic waste is littering our oceans and threatening the lives of millions of marine
animals. Seals, whales, dolphins, seabirds, fish, crabs and many other sea animals are dying and
Sea animals often eat micro plastics because of their small size. And plastic contains toxic
chemicals, which can increase the chance of disease and affect reproduction. After ingesting
micro plastics, seals, and other animals, may suffer for months or years before they die. More
than one billion people lack access to clean water and 2.4 billion don’t have adequate sanitation,
The main problem is we started to get a lot of trash accumulation throughout the season, birds
and other wildlife will then have to go through this kind of pollution that will lead to their deaths.
integrates Deadly Environmental water pollution that uses 2 layers of filters. The 2 layers of
filters contains 2 types of filters which the first one is designed to filter trash and the second one
is designed to filter oil from Oil spillage from Big factories that is spread at the ocean. The
AquaSTC cleans any types of Bodies of Water as long as the waves are not that strong or when
the weather is good. The AquaSTC is the ideal answer to every persons who are connected to the
water organization may it be in the beach, lakes, river and etc. The AquaSTC assure that it can
not harm any water animals since it will floating above the body of the water and will move
together with the movement and motion of the water. The AquaSTC is contolled by a controller
that hold or controls the GPS, Camera screen and can set the time,meters or distance that will be

covered during the route.. AquaSTC is a very efficient method of collecting trash from any
bodies of water without destroying any corals or habitats of the marine species resulting in a
product of organic, healthful fish and clean water However, it will cost thousands of pesos to buy
a pre-made AquaSTC system, and for most people it is a big problem, especially to the
fishermens or those people who lives on nearby seas, lakes rivers and etc. that cannot afford this
this kind robot. In cleaning and collecting trashes and filtering sea oil it will be much easier for
them since the prototype auto based, which means it is based on how much, how full or the
maximized storage of the robot from the trashes and oil collected from any types of bodies of
water by the robot. The automated Aquaponics examined several aspects of production: food
safety, habitat safety for marine life, and what the environmental impacts are for AquaSTC
operations. If the technologies are to support water pollution reduction and remain competitive in
current markets, there may be a need for greater product diversity to remain competitive in
commercial markets. Existing commercial AquaSTC systems can clean and collect trashes on a
competitive footing but could be subjected to pressure during seasonal changes and can destroy

Scope and Limitation
This study is designed to construct a recycled trach collector in the bodies of water.
The purpose of the study is to be able to help manage the trash and the oil spillage form big
factories that causes death of the marines species in the bodies of water.
Through this system the trash in any bodies of water can be lessen and prevent the death
population of marine species.
The study will be only limited in small waves and not in bad weathers.
Also it is limited only in getting trashes and oil spillage not assuring to clean the water that the
system will get.
Definition of Terms
Solar panels (also known as "PV panels") are used to convert light from the sun, which is
composed of particles of energy called "photons", into electricity that can be used to power
electrical loads.
Vacuum is space devoid of matter. The word stems from the Latin adjective vacuus for "vacant"
or "void". An approximation to such vacuum is a region with a gaseous pressure much less than
atmospheric pressure.
Bottle or also known as a container, typically made of glass or plastic and with a narrow neck,
used for storing drinks or other liquids.
Device is a device for recording visual images in the form of photographs, film, or video signals.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Water is one of our most important natural resources, and there are many conflicting
demands upon it. Skilful management of our water bodies is required if they are to be used for
such diverse purposes as domestic and industrial supply, crop irrigation, transport, recreation,
sport and commercial fisheries, power generation, land drainage and flood protection, and waste
aquatic life, partly as an end in itself and partly because water which sustains a rich and diverse
fauna and flora is more likely to be useful to us, and less likely to be a hazard to our health, than
one which is not so endowed. To meet this objective, it is necessary to maintain within certain
limits factors such as water depth and flow regimes, temperature, turbidity and substratum
characteristics, and the many parameters which contribute to the chemical quality of the water. In
waters which receive waste discharges, whether by design or by accident, one or more of these
variables may come to lie outside the limits which can be tolerated by one or more of the species
which live there, and consequently the biological characteristics of the water are altered. The
biologist’s role in the monitoring and control of water pollution is to detect and accurately to
describe these alterations, to elucidate as precisely as possible the mechanisms by which they are
brought about, and to seek to understand the qualitative and quantitative relationships between
pollution and its biological consequences. He or she may also need to be aware of the application
consequences for public health which water pollution threatens. Finally, he or she must be able

to offer constructive advice to other specialists—chemists, engineers, administrators and
legislators—who share the responsibility for managing our water resources. (P.D Abel 1975)
Pollution of the open seas and the relatively calmer inland waterways due to oil spillage is an
ever present and growing problem with no apparent feasible solution. The problems created by
such pollution include damage to aquatic and bird life, water resources, harbors, recreational
beaches as well as health hazards to the nearby human population. Moreover, the economic loss
A number of different approaches have been suggested for dealing with oil-spillage
encompassing mechanical systems as well as chemical systems. The mechanical systerns have
proven to be fairly adequate for control of oilspillage in calm waters where waves do not pose a

METHODOLOGY
This chapter discussed the methods that the researchers have used to collate and evaluate the data
in accordance to the goal of the study. After gathering all the needed in the study, the data is used
as supporting factor in analyzing the design which involves canvassing including the determining
of the necessary components. It will be useless to design without making a physical output of the
prototype considering the cost of materials and evaluate the prototype so that it proves to be
functional.

The transmitter plays a very important role it serves as the brain of the prototype. The
transmitter let the prototype move according to what has been indicated. The language that used
in programming the prototype is also important to make the prototype move on its own.
