The Jellyfish Filter is a stormwater quality treatment technology featuring high surface area and high flow rate membrane filtration at a low driving head. By incorporating pretreatment with lightweight membrane filtration, the Jellyfish Filter removes a high level and a wide variety of stormwater pollutants. The high surface area membrane cartridges, combined with up-flow hydraulics, frequent passive backwashing, and rinseable/reusable cartridges, ensure long-lasting performance.
Features | Benefits |
---|---|
High surface area membrane filtration | Low flux rate promotes cake filtration and slows membrane occlusion |
High design treatment flow rate per cartridge (up to 80 gpm (5 L/s)) | Compact system with a small footprint, lower construction cost |
Low driving head (typically 18-21 inches or less (457-533 mm)) |
Design Flexibility, lower construction cost |
Lightweight cartridges with passive backwash | Easy maintenance and low life-cycle cost |

View Technical InformationThe Stormwater Management StormFilter, Jellyfish Filter, and the High Capacity Kraken Filter can be easily configured as decentralized pretreatment systems for Low Impact Development Designs.
The Stormwater Management StormFilter, Jellyfish Filter, and the Kraken Filter provide the highest level of treatment and meet the most stringent regulatory requirements. These low maintenance systems combine pretreatment and filtration, and are able to target site-specific pollutants to meet your water quality goals. Our field-proven products have earned hundreds of standalone BMP approvals from regulatory agencies nationwide.
Media filtration systems - like our StormFilter, Jellyfish Filter, and Kraken Filter are able to remove the most challenging pollutants from stormwater, including total phosphorus, soluble metals, oil, and very fine particles. Available in a variety of configurations (vault, manhole, catch basin, high flow and volume), these systems can be engineered to treat a wide range of flows within your drainage system and capture pollutants prior to discharge off-site.
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.
