How it works

Design and Application

The Lafarge Stormceptor System is a patented design stormwater interceptor for the treatment of stormwater and most wastewater applications. Stormceptor removes suspended solids and hydrocarbon contaminants from drainage before discharging into receiving waters or municipal sewer systems. These pollutants are then stored for safe and easy removal. Under normal conditions, stormwater flows into the bypass chamber, is diverted by a contoured weir down a pipe, and into the "separation/holding" chamber. This downward flow is directed, by right angled outlets, around the circular walls of the chamber, and flows horizontally to the outlet pipe. Above and below this throughflow, oil and sediment accumulate in relative quiescence.

Stormceptor has proven fine and course sediment removal of up to 85% and up to 98% removal of petroleum pollutants.

Stormceptor is unique in that it contains an internal highflow bypass which prevents the scouring, re-suspension and flushing out trapped pollutants in peakflow events.

Stormceptor's proven effectiveness has led to increased demand for the product, as Environmental Agencies, Municipalities and Industry are realizing the harmful effects polluted stormwater has on our environment.
