The Jonathan Project srl

The Jonathan Project Srl was launched by two international granted patents, of which it is deposed and holder. It has designed, developed and built Oilkiller, a boat able to remove oily pollutant on water in an effective, efficient and economical way. The idea was born from the observation of a wide margin of improvement in the effectiveness of the remediation and containment of damage. Oil spills in oceans can be caused by two main factors: routine works, such as port operations or the simple refueling of a motorboat, and environmental disasters, like the sinking of an oil tanker. In both cases pollution is spreading very fast, expanding and giving rise to smelly and harmful patches into the environment that often can even arrive to the shore where we swim. OilKiller solves the need of cleaning and maintenance, remediation and damage reduction in civil, social and industrial under coastal water. The work of the company has had several recognitions, including: - Rotary International District 2060 – Science and Technology Award 2016 to the innovation project - 1° place - Innautic Barcamper Challenge (La Spezia, 2013) - 2° place - Start Cup FVG 2011 (Trieste, 2011) has been a source of interest for the writing of three theses at the University of Trieste: - “Study of Oil Skimmer for operation in coastal waters”. Student: Jan Nacmias Indri, A.Y. 2013/2014 - “Study of international standards of naval certification”. Student: Mattia Capucci, A.Y. 2013/2014 - “Design, construction and hydrodynamic tests of a Floc scale model (Flexible Oil Collector), sea skimmer for coastal waters”. Student: Germano Degan, A.Y. 2012/2013 and also scientific papers: - ICTS 2014 - 16th International Conference on Transport Science - ICTS 2013 - 15th International Conference on Transport Science - NAV 2012 - 17th International Conference on Ships and Shipping Research and finally, has also been reported by various mass media (Il Piccolo, Telequattro, Airone, La Repubblica, Nautech, ...)
