Hydroguard (HG)
Separator
The Hydroworks
Hydroguard (HG) separator is a state of the art structural storm water
quality
Best Management Practice (BMP) designed to treat urban storm water
runoff
pollution.
The
HG separator
removes suspended solids, oil, and trash from storm water runoff. It is
unique
since it treats both low and high flows, but in separate treatment
areas. This
allows the HG separator to treat higher flows but also minimize scour
and
resuspension of previously captured fines. It is the only design on the
market
that recognizes the need to treat low flows differently from higher
flows since
the transport and pollutants of concern vary with flow rate.
Designed
with the
ultra-urban environment in mind, the HG series offers many benefits to
urban
planners and civil engineers:
- Small footprint
minimizing conflicts with other utilities
- Supports Smart
Growth principles since the HG is installed underground maximizing the
development density in an urban area
- Easily
maintained once per year for typical applications
- Minimal
elevation difference between inlet and outlet pipe
- Sized based on
local hydrology and continuous simulation
- Technical
support to assist with design and approval issues
- Treats both low
and high flows
- Separate low
flow path minimizes scour potential at high flows
- Removes trash,
oil spills and suspended solids
- Lower cost
compared to similar structural BMPs
Typical
applications
where the HG series would be used include:
- Parking lots
- Gas stations
- Roads/Highways
- Transfer stations
- Industrial
sites
