Wet weather flow can wreak havoc at WWTPs. The conventional solutions to managing storm flows are
not always feasible …

• Increasing the capacity of the WWTP is Expensive
• Building a wet weather detention tank upstream of the inlet works requires a Large Footprint
• Allowing wet weather flows to bypass the inlet works creates High Maintenance

The Storm King offers a small-footprint, low-maintenance alternative. intercept wet weather flows and use swirl technology to concentrate screenings, heavy grit solids, and large organics from the flow into a small underflow. 

The concentrated underflow – approximately 5 to 10% of the total wet weather flow – then goes on to the WWTP where the plant’s screening compactors, grit classifiers and/or sludge thickeners process the concentrated solids. 

The remaining 90 – 95% of the flow from the Storm King® is then discharged, usually without further treatment.
