Up-Flo® Filter

Up-Flo^® Filter is an advanced stormwater best management practice (BMP) that combines sedimentation and screening with filtration to capture sediment, oils, heavy metals and nutrients from stormwater runoff, achieving total suspended solids (TSS) removal rates of up to 98%.

Up-Flo^® Filter is a flexible, high-performance treatment solution that can be customized to meet US National Permit Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements specific to a municipality or state. Designed with efficiency, longevity and upkeep in mind, the Up-Flo^® Filter has high loading rates and long media life, which means you’ll get high quality water treatment for longer periods between servicings.

Targeted pollutants

• Very fine particles
• Trash and floatables
• Liquid and sediment bound hydrocarbons
• Sediment bound heavy metals
• Sediment bound nutrients

Applications

The Up-Flo^® Filter is perfectly suited to industrial sites, locations contributing runoff to wetlands/protected regions, or any area requiring a high level of treatment.

• Remove solids, nutrients and metals from runoff
• Source control for redevelopment or new construction
• Treatment of Water Quality Volume detention systems
• Sites operating under industrial or multi-sector general permits
• Low-impact development (LID), sustainable drainage (SuDS), LEED^® and water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) projects

Deliver exceptional treatment on any catchment

The Up-Flo^® Filter’s modular filtration components allow you to adapt your design to meet the needs of any catchment area, capturing the specific levels of trash, silt and sediment, oils, metals and nutrients required.

Get two-stage treatment in a single unit

The Up-Flo^® Filter combines pretreatment, screening and filtration, delivering highly efficient multi-stage treatment in one device.

Save site space

The Up-Flo^® Filter’s higher loading rates result in a smaller treatment footprint, which saves construction time and money, and makes for an easier installation.

Cut maintenance

No moving parts means that there’s less opportunity for treatment disruption or breakage, while the system design is suited to long-term maintenance. Longer media life means you can go longer between service, and media bags are easily removed and replaced while media cartridge modules stay put during maintenance.
