Vortechs

The Vortechs system is a high-performance hydrodynamic separator that removes sediment, particles, free oil and grease from stormwater. The design allows for easy inspection and unobstructed maintenance access.

Each Vortechs system can be designed in accordance with local regulations or by using the Rational Rainfall Method. This method combines site-specific information, including local historical precipitation records and laboratory-generated performance data (corroborated by third-party field studies) to ensure accurate long-term performance. It can also be used to estimate annual hydrocarbon load reductions.

A typical system is sized to provide an 80% load reduction based on laboratory-verified removal efficiencies for varying particles size distributions such as 50-micron sediment particles.
