DSBB™ is an advanced stormwater treatment system utilizing a non-clogging screen technology and separation to capture pollutants from stormwater. The non-clogging screening system stores trash and debris above the sedimentation chambers, minimizing nutrient leaching, bacterial growth, bad odors, and allows for easier maintenance.
Our local contacts are experts who are ready to help
DSBB combines gravity separation and non-blocking screen technology to capture trash, sediment, and hydrocarbons from stormwater.
DSBB captures and retains 100% of trash and debris equal to or greater than 5 mm in diameter and meets the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Full Capture Certification Requirements. Floating trash and debris are stored above the static water level where it can dry out between storms and can be easily removed during maintenance events.
With internal high-flow bypass, shallow vault design, and multiple sizes, it is the ideal product for sites with groundwater, utility, or bedrock constraints.
| FEATURES | BENEFITS |
|---|---|
| Dual-stage treatment system - separation and screening | Superior pollutant removal |
| Trash and debris stored above water | Easier maintenance while minimizing nutrient leaching, bacterial growth, and bad odors |
| Unimpeded high-flow path | In-line installation, eliminating the need for a diversion structure |
| Oil skimmer and optional hydrocarbon booms |
Superior hydrocarbon capture |
| Turbulence deflectors | Minimizes scour, especially during high flows |
DSBB has been evaluated by some of the most stringent stormwater technology evaluation organizations in North America, including:

Many municipalities have enacted specific trash control strategies in response to TMDLs or municipal stormwater permit requirements. To address these issues, stormwater managers, municipal officials, and other stakeholders need solutions like Contech's Catch Basin Inlet Filters, Debris Separating Baffle Box, and CDS hydrodynamic separators that can remove trash and TSS, which are easy to maintain and can easily be implemented in a retrofit scenario.
Our hydrodynamic separation products (including the CDS, Cascade Separator, SciCloneX, Vortechs, and Stormceptor Systems) are reliable, easy to install, and offer high-performance, proven, stormwater pollutant removal. The systems are widely accepted for effective solids removal and can be designed to achieve your site treatment goals - including TMDL requirements for TSS and trash.
Designing, manufacturing and installing high-volume stormwater detention and treatment systems requires expert engineering, planning, and logistical support to manage costs and keep the project on schedule and under budget. When you need a proven, large scale stormwater management system, “Go Big” with Contech.
Our hydrodynamic separators are frequently installed upstream of detention and infiltration systems as pretreatment devices. By capturing the majority of sediment, hydrocarbons and trash and debris upstream of the storage system, maintenance becomes much easier as material is congregated into a smaller device with clear access for cleanout. Additionally, by utilizing pretreatment upstream of infiltration systems, sediment that would have clogged the stone voids in the storage envelope surrounding the storage chamber can be captured before entering the storage system thus extending the longevity of the entire system.
Our hydrodynamic separation products are ideal solutions for preatreatment to rainwater harvesting. Not only do they improve the overall water quality, they also provide protect the pumps and controls from being overburdened with material that could clog and damage the mechanical system.
