The standard SPI is a two chamber oil and grit separator treatment system designed to capture detrimental substances present in storm sewer effluent including waste materials, total suspended solids (TSS), and petroleum products.
Within Chamber #1 of the SPI, larger waste materials are captured on a steel grate which is situated immediately below the invert of the inlet pipe.
Smaller floating waste materials and petroleum products are captured in Chamber #1 between the steel grate and the outlet to the tertiary treatment Chamber #2.
Remaining waste materials, sediments, and a larger Suspended Solids settle to the bottom of Chamber #1.
Final treatment occurs in Chamber #2 substantially reducing Total Suspended Solids (TSS) prior to discharge to City sewer systems or outfalls.
SPI units provide treatment of storm water effluent without bypass independent of the storm intensity.
Standard SPI designs exist for inlet pipe systems ranging from 150 mm (6") to 900 mm (36"). Non-standard designs can be developed for larger inlet pipes or unique drainage requirements.
Concrete manholes and piping supplies are readily available within the region being treated. This facilitates prompt design and installation.
Contractors can easily construct units based on shop drawings provided by StormPal Corp.
No disassembly of parts is required to clean-out systems. Work can be conducted by standard pumper trucks.
SPI designs can be readily modified to accommodate installations involving multiple inlet storm sewer pipes, or sites with restricted space during construction.
