UrbanGreen BioFilter

Sustainable, flexible, proven biofiltration

 

UrbanGreen BioFilterThe UrbanGreen BioFilter is an enhanced biofiltration system that combines nature’s ability to treat stormwater with the proven performance of the Stormwater Management StormFilter media-filled cartridges. This blend of biological and engineered media filtration creates the perfect balance for the removal of common pollutants found in stormwater runoff and will help to lower the impact of your site.

The UrbanGreen BioFilter is a stormwater treatment LID solution. The system is precast concrete and has a profile of approximately 6’ X 8’ X 5’. The system is constructed in a curb inlet configuration and designed to treat runoff from roadways, parking lots, roof tops, and other runoff generating surfaces.

What the UrbanGreen BioFilter has to offer:
  • Bioretention and media filtration in one system -Two well-known and accepted practices provide the benefit of two technologies in one system.
  • Proven removal capability - lab results show engineered soil mixture can achieve a removal of greater than 95% of Sil-Co-Sil 106 (average particle size of 25 microns).
  • Full-scale hydraulic testing - No scour observed at flows up to 2 cfs, observations indicate that the system can handle even higher flows without concern.
  • Standard treatment capacity means simple sizing and design
  • Internal bypass -Eliminates the need and cost of installing an external bypass and enables the system to be placed anywhere on a site whether the location is a low point or not
  • Easy installation - Delivered on-site with all internal components installed (except tree or other vegetation) - ready to lift and place
  • Aesthetic landscape solution

Biofiltration for LID Designs

BioFilter for LID DesignThe UrbanGreen™ BioFilter combines biological and engineered media filtration creating the perfect balance for the removal of the most common pollutants found in stormwater runoff. This enhanced biofiltration system is designed to provide the small-scale, decentralized treatment required in LID designs.

 

SS Credit 6.2 – Stormwater Quality Control, 1 Point

Intent – Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by managing stormwater runoff.

Potential contribution: Other CONTECH Hydrodynamic Separation Systems
  • Achieve 80% removal of total suspended solids (TSS) load

MR Credit 5.1 – Regional Materials, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured locally to a job site in hopes to reduce the environmental impact that would result from transporting these goods. Products manufactured, extracted and recycled within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost of the total materials value.
