Addressing a Major Source of Water Contamination
When it comes to water, we all have a common challenge: keeping groundwater and waterways clean, and providing clean water to our communities. HydroChain water-quality products can be part of a system that solves both challenges.
An ideal solution for many systems is the HydroChain Main Header Row – a row of chambers constructed and piped as part of a chamber, vault or crate system. It functions as a water-quality device using infiltration at the inlets of the row of chambers, crates or vaults. In other projects, the Prime Separator or Vortex Filter installed in concrete manholes or vaults provides the pollutant removal function.
Removing pollutants from stormwater
runoff is always a good idea.
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.
