Quality Treatment with Hydro's Downstream Defender~®

摘要

HYDRO International has launched the next generation of its innovative Downstream Defender® advanced hydrodynamic separator in anticipation of tougher UK legislative requirements for treatment of suspended solids and pollutants in surface water runoff. The new Downstream Defender~® has been developed to offer greater design flexibility with optimum efficiency and minimal maintenance, typically achieving greater than 80% removal of grits, silts and oils in a much smaller footprint than conventional gravity or swirl-type devices. The expectations of the EU Water Framework Directive, the Flood and Water Management Act in England and Wales and the Water Environment and Water Services Act (Scotland) are all likely to place demands on highways authorities for increased treatment of runoff from roads, car parks and developments.
