Ichthion's Azure System is in technology grade 6 within the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) method.
Azure was developed and tested in London, UK. During February and March 2021, our team tested the first 1:6 scale prototype on the Medway River in the UK.
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AT 1: 1 SCALE
Within the scientific process of developing new technology, the correct operation during the tests, in addition to all the information generated, meant a resounding success in Ichthion’s objectives. The prototype extracted plastic waste from the Medway River with an effectiveness of up to 70%, exceeding our expectations and allowing the first 1:1 scale system manufacturing.
