Submerged Stormceptor®

During infrequent, high flow events (less than 10 percent of all storm events), water is conveyed over the internal by-pass weir directly to the downstream storm sewer. This by-pass activity prevents high velocities of water from entering the treatment chamber.

Uses/Applications
The Submerged Stormceptor® system removes total suspended solids, free oil, and other pollutants from stormwater run-off in partially submerged pipes.

Specifications
The precast sections are manufactured in easy-to-assemble components and are available in the same sizes as the In-Line Stormceptor® (eight models, ranging from 72 inch to 144 inch diameter). A customized weir separates the upper (by-pass) and lower (treatment) chambers.

Product Technical Information
Submerged Inline Units

• Extended weir and second drop tee height are custom designed based on tailwater elevation.
• eight of weir corresponds to the difference of outlet invert and tail water elevation. Weir can be extended to a maximum of 45 inches from the outlet elevation (including the existing weir).

Inspect and maintain the Submerged Stormceptor® from the surface, without entry into the unit. Perform maintenance once stored volume reaches 15 percent of the Stormceptor® capacity, or immediately in the event of a spill.

Maintenance intervals vary depending on the application. Quarterly inspections should be during the first year of installation, so you can accurately establish a maintenance schedule.

Remove oil and sediment through the 24 inch diameter outlet riser pipe. Or you may remove floatables and hydrocarbons through the 6 inch oil inspection port.

The requirements for the disposal from Stormceptor® are similar to that of any other Best Management Practice (BMP). Consult local guidelines or your Stormceptor® area marketing manager prior to disposing the separator contents.
