The Saturn Separator™ is Contech’s newest innovation in stormwater treatment, combining high-flow sediment capture with a compact footprint and easy, unobstructed access for maintenance.
What makes the Saturn Separator unique is its series of seven flow rings, which dissipate energy, prolong the flow path and enhance sediment settling. The system is designed to handle
high flow rates without scouring previously captured pollutants and includes an internal bypass for peak-flow storm events. The result is a system that treats high flow rates in a small footprint,
providing an efficient and economical solution for a wide range of sites.
The Saturn Separator is NJDEP Certified for 50% TSS removal and has an industry-leading hydraulic loading rate of 69 gpm/sf.
| FEATURES | BENEFITS |
|---|---|
| Unique flow rings | Superior TSS removal, reduced system size and costs |
| Internal bypass | Eliminates the need for a separate bypass structure |
| Clear access to sump and stored pollutants | Fast, easy maintenance |
| Inlet area accepts a wide range of inlet pipe angles* | Design and installation flexibility |
| Accepts multiple inlet pipes* | Eliminates the need for separate junction structure |
| Grate inlet option* | Eliminates the need for a separate grate inlet structure |
*Alternate inlet configurations are subject to local regulatory requirements.
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 separators 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.
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.
