Addressing a Major Source of Water Contamination
Today, the best way to manage stormwater is with an underground system that provides efficient storage and infiltration of runoff. But in a world where clean water is at a premium, that’s just the beginning. To truly make a difference and offer a long-term solution, a high-performance stormwater system incorporates a water-quality component. That’s how to keep groundwater and waterways clean, and provide clean water to communities.
Water-quality options
The following options can be installed in conjunction with a stormwater storage system consisting of chambers, crates or vaults.
The Prime Separator and Vortex Filter can also be installed as single units or in a series, and in concrete vaults or fiberglass manholes or tanks.
Hydrodynamic Technology
The Prime Separator removes sediment, solids and heavy metals from stormwater runoff
Multifunction Capability
The Main Header Row provides flow distribution and pollutant removal, and is third-party verified by NJCAT to remove 85.1% of total suspended solids (TSS)
Enhanced Pollutant Removal
The Vortex Filter combines sedimentation and an upflow filter process to remove nutrients, hydrocarbons, heavy metals and solids
Experience the value of working with expert engineers
Adding a water quality component enhances the functionality of a system and helps protect precious water resources.

Success Story
Huntsville, Ontario
A manufacturing facility in Huntsville, Ontario, needed to add a stormwater system to collect, treat and dispose of runoff at a 74-acre site. As the installation approached, a problem occurred: The treatment product originally approved for the site did not meet the environmental requirements that had changed between the bidding process and installation date.
That’s where Xerxes came in. When the project’s engineers considered new options, they reviewed the testing and performance records of the HydroChain Prime Separator, and determined it would not only meet – but potentially exceed – the regulatory requirements.” The HydroChain Prime Separator now provides water-quality protection by removing pollutants and contaminants, including TSS, before the runoff is discharged into a roadside ditch and low-lying areas, and ultimately into tributaries of a nearby lake.
