StormSack
ON-SITE GROSS POLLUTANT TRAP SYSTEM
The Atlan StormSack filtration solutions are highly engineered water quality devices that are deployed directly in the stormwater system to capture contaminants close to the surface for ease of maintenance. Easily retrofitted into new or existing structures, Atlan StormSack filtration technology is a decentralised approach to stormwater treatment that essentially re-purposes traditional site infrastructure and customises it to meet specific site water quality goals.
From an operations perspective, catch basins with Atlan StormSack filters are also easier and quicker to clean out because pollutants are trapped just under the grate.
Features & Benefits
Efficient At-Source Gross Pollutant Capture
Designed to capture gross pollutants, sediment, litter, and oil and grease effectively within storm drains.
Engineered for Water Quality
Provides a decentralized stormwater treatment approach, aligning with LID (Low Impact Development) criteria for sustainable water management.
Retrofit Capability
Easily integrates into new or existing stormwater infrastructure, repurposing traditional systems to meet specific site water quality goals.
Adjustable Design
Features a typical adjustable frame range of 127mm and requires a minimum clearance of 50mm for optimal installation. Customise to suit your pit size. Standard sizes include - 450x450mm - 600x600mm - 900x600mm - 900x900mm - Custom sizes (i.e. 1200x900mm) can be manufactured on short lead times.
Ease of Maintenance
Pollutants are trapped just under the grate, making cleaning faster and simpler with conventional vacuum suction equipment.
