The SiltPrison has undergone testing and review at Alden Laboratories and by the Massachusetts BMP Clearinghouse, MASTEP. The SiltPrison’s treatment mechanism of filtration and settling were evaluated and tested at Alden for three different performance characteristics: re-entrainment, hydraulic characteristics, and sediment removal efficiency. Among the findings were very high flow rates, a 62.6% sediment removal […]

Stowmwater Buffer Zone is a 2 step particulate filtration process that allows zero bypass, even during heavy rain events. The initial filtration is performed by a lightweight trash screen. This insert is designed to handle low and high flow rates. This screen removes large particulate such as twigs, leaves, and refuse, and allows for water […]
