Nutrient Separating Baffle Box

Nutrient Separating Baffle Boxes [NSBB] provide unprecedented performance in pre-treating stormwater within drain systems.

NSBBs treat the ENTIRE system design flow, not just a first flush, removing 90% of particulate contaminants including soils, litter and vegetal matter. And, Baffle Boxes hold the nutrient rich vegetation and litter above the static water line, reducing receiving water BOD, COD and bacteriological loadings during subsequent runoff events. This separation of organic material from the sediment entrapment chambers prevents septic condition development ... and the accompanying odors. Alone, these critical performance attributes justify using NSBBs. Yet, several additional features make NSBBs the product of choice for storm water treatment within drain systems:

◊ Unique design results in lowest installed system cost per treated water flow rate.

◊ Small system size and low head loss enables retrofitting of nearly all existing systems.

◊ Hinged screen system provides easy cleanout of both captured vegetation/litter as well as sediments in lower chambers.

◊ Deflectors within the sediment chambers keep turbulence from resuspending captured sediments ... key to improved water quality attainment in downstream water bodies.

◊ Preassembly of internal frame and baskets enables fast and inexpensive installation - often just hours from start to finish.

◊ A hydrocarbon boom adsorbs organic contaminants, reducing receiving water pollution.

High quality storm drain system pretreatment is finally available, providing affordable Phase II compliance assistance - turn to the advantages of Nutrient Separating Baffle Boxes from Suntree Technologies, Inc.
