At the 2015 Nanotechnology Engineering Capstone Design Symposium on Friday, March 20, 2015, one team walked away with the most entrepreneurial team award sponsored by Structur3D Printing. Team Spill-O-Pill was selected as the team most likely to take their design to the next level.
Spill-o-Pill
Oil spills at sea cause huge environmental damage and cost millions to clean up. The solution? Spill-o-Pill. The exclusive product designed to mitigate the costs and risks of oil spill cleanup. Spill-o-Pill is unique in that it soaks up subsurface oil, that’s usually missed by the competition. By using a nanostructured material, oil is absorbed and water is kept out, turning an environmental pollutant into a ready-to-burn fuel source. Spill-o-Pill: a clean ocean is not just a good cause, it’s good business.
