IDEAL USES

What is Stormceptor EF?

Stormceptor EF is a continuation and evolution of the most globally recognized oil grit separator (OGS) stormwater treatment technology - Stormceptor. 

Stormceptor EF is designed to protect waterways from hazardous material spills and stormwater pollution. Stormceptor EF effectively targets sediment (TSS), free oils, gross pollutants and other pollutants that attach to particles, such as nutrients and metals. Stormceptor EF’s independently tested and ISO14034 ETV verified, patent- pending treatment and scour prevention platform ensures pollutants are captured and contained during all rainfall events.

Stormceptor EF also offers design flexibility in one platform, accepting flow from a single inlet pipe, multiple inlet pipes, and from the surface through an inlet grate. Stormceptor EF can also accommodate a 90-degree inlet to outlet bend angle, and tailwater conditions.

WHAT IS A TRUE OIL GRIT SEPARATOR (OGS)?

An Oil Grit Separator, also commonly referred to as an OGS should demonstrate the treatment of both sediment (TSS) and hydrocarbons. With Canadian stormwater regulatory landscape quickly advancing, communities are requiring third-party, verified test performance, and ISO Verification. Not all technologies are engineered the same. There are three critical OGS performance features which clearly define a true Oil and Grit Separator:

1. Sediment (TSS) capture
2. Oil capture and retention (light liquid re-entrainment)
3. Scour prevention

From recent CA ETV testing, and product development conducted by Imbrium over the past two decades, obtaining one or two of these features is rather easy. However demonstrating all three features is a challenge. Sediment capture without the ability to capture and retain oil will not provide adequate water resource protection or good water quality benefit. A true OGS unit demonstrates the ability to capture and retain both sediment and oil and prevents scour during the larger storms we encounter. Make sure the OGS you are selecting, can achieve verified performance of all three critical performance features.
