NJDEP Authorizes Use of First Defense® High Capacity With Highest
Stormwater Treatment Loading Rate in Industry
PORTLAND, Maine, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The First Defense®
High Capacity, an advanced hydrodynamic separator for stormwater
treatment from Hydro International has now been certified for 50%
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal by the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) – at the highest treatment
loading rate in the industry. This advancement offers engineers and
contractors the potential to save 40% more space on their site,
helping to significantly reduce time and overall project costs.
First Defense® High Capacity doesn't just save space, it's also
a highly adaptable online treatment system that works easily with
large pipes, multiple inlet pipes, inlet grates and now contains a
high capacity internal bypass for the conveyance of large peak
flows. Designed with site flexibility in mind, First Defense® High
Capacity allows engineers to maximize available site space without
compromising treatment level.
"We've been designing advanced separation devices for decades
but we've finally uncovered the secret to getting the highest
loading rate through the smallest footprint," said John Larson, Senior Project Engineer at Hydro
International. "This system will be an important treatment option
for any engineer needing to get the most out of a small and/or
difficult site space."
Systems are available in the following sizes and approved flow
rates:
- 4ft - approved for up to 1.50/cfs
- 6ft - approved for up to 3.38/cfs
- 8ft - approved for up to 6.00/cfs
For the convenience of specifying engineers who may need
assistance in selecting an appropriate model size, the online
sizing calculator enables effective configuration and sizing
selections based on site-specific information entered by the
user. Register here to use the online sizing tool.
Engineers in New Jersey and any
municipality following NJDEP regulations will now be permitted to
specify a treatment system that is quickly gaining favor among
engineers across North America.
First Defense® High Capacity is an enhanced version of the original
First Defense® which is currently installed in thousands of
locations throughout the US and Canada.
