Hydrus is an emergency treatment equipment for offshore oil spills. In this project, the designer focused on the negative impact of offshore oil spills on the global environment. In the face of an emergency of offshore oil spills, the crew onboard or the airdrop can quickly deliver the right amount of Hydrus equipment and remotely control it to enclose the leaked oil and then absorb the leaked crude oil into the equipment to prevent secondary pollution.

The designer hopes this equipment does not only try to solve one problem but also encourages people to deal with environmental change.
