Waterways are exposed not only to visible solid waste, but also to liquid pollutants that are often difficult to detect and highly harmful to both the environment and infrastructures. River Cleaning has developed RC Oil, a technology designed to intercept and remove oil pollutants present on the water surface, contributing to a more comprehensive and sustainable approach to water quality management.

River Cleaning’s vision was born from the need to address not only the large amount of solid waste found in rivers, but also liquid pollutants — less visible, yet equally critical. RC Oil is an innovative, modular, and scalable system designed to adapt to most river environments. Integrated with River Cleaning barriers, it enables effective intervention on the liquid component of pollution: a dedicated sensor detects the presence of oily substances and automatically activates the purification and oil removal process.
