Humeceptor™

 

Product Description

Humeceptor™ is a hydrodynamic source control device for the capture and retention of a range of contaminants, including free and floating oils, grease, hydrocarbon and petroleum products and fine suspended solids, from stormwater runoff generated from impervious surfaces. Each unit is constructed from precast concrete components and a patented fibreglass insert that separates the upper (by-pass) and lower (separation/holding) chambers. Humeceptor™ is a unique product, as it provides careful control of flow rates and operational velocities to prevent the resuspension and loss of fine suspended solids material and emulsification of collected hydrocarbons during infrequent high flow rates.

Uses/Applications

Car parks, industrial and commercial sites, roads and highways, marinas, airport facilities, sea port facilities, petrol stations, defence establishments, high/medium density residential developments and similar impervious/hardstand surfaces.

Product Benefits

· Effectively captures and retains total suspended solids and petroleum hydrocarbons

· Protects waterways and reduces municipal costs by capturing contaminants at the source

· Performance has been extensively verified under field conditions by independent agencies

· Easy to design using Humeceptor™ Designer Software

Standard Sizes

Various Humeceptor™ models, In-Line, Inlet, Submerged, Series and Multi-inlet, are available to suit specific site conditions. Storage capacities range from 3,000 up to 60,000 litres

Options

In-Line Humeceptor™ - The most commonly installed unit. It is designed with a single inlet and a single outlet, and is available in eight different unit sizes, ranging from 3,000 to 27,000 litre storage capacities.

Inlet Humeceptor™ - Taking the place of traditional inlet structures, the Inlet Humeceptor™ is ideal for small drainage areas. It is manufactured with a 1200mm diameter precast concrete shaft.

Submerged Humeceptor™ - Designed to operate in partially submerged pipes. Available in the same sizes as the In-Line unit.

Multi-inlet Humeceptor™ - Allows for multiple inlet pipes into a single outlet pipe, eliminating the need for a pit. Available in the same sizes as the In-Line unit.

Series Humeceptor™ - Designed to treat runoff from larger drainage areas or on highly disturbed sites where export rates and the mass load of suspended solids is expected to be greater than conventional impervious catchments. Models are available in 40,000, 50,000, and 60,000 litre sizes.
