Sweeping out debris from stormwater run-off

摘要

Naylor Drainage has developed Smart Sponge and Hydroblox for onsite water treatment technology, and a permanent solution for land drainage, ground stabilisation, green infrastructure and filtration, respectively. Smart Sponge offers a host of environmental, money-saving uses in a variety of areas of water contamination. The standard Smart Sponge material is effective in absorbing and locking in polluting hydrocarbons and oil derivatives from surface water, whilst still allowing high flow-through rates. The technology can remove up to 95% of all oil contaminants present in stormwater run-off or similar wastewater flows and can, dependent on viscosity, absorb up to five times its own weight of hydrocarbons, thereby transforming the contaminant into a solid waste with lower disposal costs.
