  • Publication number: 20210340041
    Abstract: A stormwater filter includes a receptacle having an open top into which stormwater is permitted to enter the receptacle and flow downwardly therein. A hydroponic garden section having a media bed is supported within the receptacle and in an elevated condition above the bottom of the receptacle so that a water sump compartment is disposed between the hydroponic garden section and the bottom of the receptacle. In addition, a discharge opening is defined within a sidewall of the receptacle in the water sump compartment and adjacent the hydroponic garden section, and a post-filtration flow control orifice is associated with the discharge opening for controlling the filtration flow through the media bed. In addition, a wick is associated with the media bed for drawing water upwardly from the water sump compartment for use by plants growing within the media bed.

  • Patent number: 11002000
    Abstract: A gravitational separator for a drainage system includes a collection cavity within which drainwater is collected. The collection cavity includes an exit; and a baffle is strategically arranged within the collection cavity for isolating a boundary region of the cavity interior from the central region thereof and for directing the flow of drainwater which moves through the boundary region along a desired flow path. In addition, an outlet control structure is disposed over the mouth of the exit and includes a sidewall having an opening through which drainwater which enters the mouth of the exit must enter so that as the drainwater enters the sidewall opening and moves into the mouth of the exit opening, the direction of flow of the drainwater is altered through at least 90 degrees.

  • Patent number: 6524473
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic gravitational separator and an attending drainwater filtration section positionable within a horizontal flow passage of a drainage system utilizes a circular-walled collection cavity into which drainwater is directed so that a swirling motion is imparted to the drainwater collected within the collection cavity. Furthermore, a baffle plate is supported within the collection cavity adjacent the exit opening thereof to isolate the exit opening from the swirling motion of the drainwater collected within the cavity. The filtration section includes a filter disposed downstream of the exit opening of the collection cavity so that drainwater which exits the collection cavity is subsequently routed through the filter.

  • Patent number: 6287459
    Abstract: A drainwater treatment system positionable within the vertical passageway of a drainage system utilizes a catch basin for accepting drainwater which flows downwardly into the drainage system and a filter-supporting section disposed alongside the catch basin. The filter-supporting section accepts drainwater which flows therein from the catch basin and permits drainwater to flow downwardly therethrough. First and second filters containing a hydrophobic material are positioned within the filter-supporting section for filtering contaminants from the drainwater flowing downwardly therethrough, and an overflow is associated with the catch basin and the filter-supporting section through which drainwater is permitted to exit the treatment system and bypass the first and second filters when the flow rate of drainwater into the system exceeds the rate at which drainwater is permitted to flow downwardly through the first and second filters.

  • Patent number: 6190545
    Abstract: A drainwater treatment system positionable within a horizontal flow passage of a drainage system utilizes a partition which divides the flow passage into an upstream chamber and a downstream chamber. In addition, a mid-panel is supported within the upstream chamber for dividing the interior of the upstream chamber into an upper section and a lower section so that the drainwater enters the upper section before entering the lower section through a first opening provided in the mid-panel. A conduit is also joined between a second opening provided in the mid-panel and the opening of the partition for conducting drainwater from the lower section of the upstream chamber to the downstream chamber so that the drainwater which enters the upper section and then into the lower section is decelerated to flow conditions at which debris and suspended are permitted to separate and settle from the drainwater before being conducted from the lower section and into the downstream chamber through the conduit.
