Trash Capture Catch Basin Insert
The Water Decontaminator Trash Capture Unit is the best available technology (BAT) for treating stormwater at the source. Dirty water entering through the catch basin grate is funneled into the filter housing. The water then flows through a proprietary mixture of wood pulp media, polypropylene and activated carbon. This mixture has been shown to remove common pollutants entering the stormwater system. These pollutants include total suspended solids (TSS), oil, grease, and heavy metals. The treated water then flows out of the TCU into the catch basin.
The filter cartridge is designed so that first flush storm event passes through a denser portion of the filter. The first flush typically contain a larger concentration of contaminants. Maximum filter efficiency is achieved for the standard WD-TCU 10x18A filter at 20 gpm. Flow rates above 20 gpm will flow through the trash capture screen while removing all particles smaller than 3/16" [5mm]. Flow rates above 260-780 gpm depending on model overflow the filter housing through a built in overflow, not compromising the designed flow rate of the catch basin. An extended rim edge on top of the strainer cylinder helps retain collected debris should the flow rate exceed the rated maximum.
Larger units with multiple filter cartridges can accommodate any load. Filters can be fitted with an optional collection tube for effluent stormwater sampling.
