The Inlet Stormceptor takes the place of a traditional inlet structure in a storm sewer system. The Inlet Stormceptor is ideal for small drainage areas, such as truck loading bays, electrical transformer stations, and vehicle refueling stations. The Inlet Stormceptor is a 48-inch diameter precast concrete structure with a patented fiberglass insert. The insert extends into the treatment chamber, providing dual wall containment of hydrocarbons. Flow is diverted by horizontal outlets around the walls of the lower chamber, settling out coarse and fine sediments to the floor of the chamber.
Petroleum products rise and become trapped beneath the fiberglass insert.
The Inlet Stormceptor is an excellent Best Management Practice, because it saves the designer the cost of providing a traditional inlet structure upstream of a conventional treatment device in small drainage areas. Maintenance Procedure You can inspect and maintain the Inlet Stormceptor from the surface, without entry into the unit. Maintenance intervals vary depending on the application. Therefore, we recommend quarterly inspections during the first year of installation, so you can accurately determine the maintenance schedule. The inlet drop pipe has a tapered insert connected to a handle.
