Fabco Industries Phosphorus and Nutrients Stormwater Solutions

At Fabco Industries, we know that finding the right solution isn’t always easy, but we’re here to help! This page will take you through various problems people face every day when it comes to phosphorus and nutrients in our stormwater, and offer an appropriate solution for their needs. From simple storm drains in parking lots, to roof runoff, we aim to find a cost effective and competitive stormwater solution to every issue. All of our phosphorus and nutrients stormwater solutions utilize our patented FabPhos filter media for the most effective solution.

See below for phosphorus and nutrients stormwater solutions fit for grated/curb inlet storm drains, roof runoff, and centralized precast vaults. 

FabPhos Phosphorus and Nutrients Stormwater Treatment Technology and Filter Cartridge

FabPhos is a light-weight bulk media available in pads, thin sheets and even small cubes. The various shapes and configuration enable fine tuning of the flow characteristics based on the application and the actual storm water matrix. The unique synthetic base material is a fibrous mat that provides enormous surface area similar to fine Ion-exchange resins while resisting blinding and the release of “fines” during operation. When packaged into one of our unique cartridge filters and installed into a Fabco stormwater unit the combined treatment methods of mechanical filtration (for fine particles) and FabPhos has proven to be capable of reducing phosphorous levels by up to 80%. FabPhos can be utilized with our proprietary filter cartridges or oil booms.

Phosphorus and Nutrients Stormwater Solutions
for Storm Drains (Grated & Curb Inlets)

Grated and curb inlet storm drains are extremely common. From roadways and parking lots, to industrial sites and waste treatment facilities, municipal storm drains are found just about everywhere. With our proprietary filter cartridges and FabPhos filter media technology, our StormBasins are able to fit a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and storm drain types.

StormBasin PLUS Cartridge Based Filter System

• Full welded aluminum construction suitable for extreme conditions or heavy-duty commercial use.
• Large volume welded aluminum collection basin.
• Custom sizes and filter configurations are available.
• Adjustable slotted frame with 2” adjustment range (X & Y) lets you adjust the filter size to fit real inlet dimensions and irregularities.
• Protected bypass keeps sediments and trash safely stored, even during extreme rain events.

Phosphorus and Nutrients Stormwater Solutions for Roof Runoff

As rainwater runs off roofs, water quality can be affected by roofing material and deposited materials, so it’s incredibly important to make sure this water is being treated, especially with green roofs becoming more popular. When it comes to roof runoff, we offer both above ground and below ground bacteria treatment stormwater solutions in the form of our FabPhos cartridge based DownSpout Filter System.

DownSpout with StormBasin Cartridge Filter System Configuration

• Available in Above Ground and Below Ground configurations.
• 2 or 3 Cartridge designs provide filter flow rates up to 520 gpm (dependent on cartridge type). Best for sediments, solids and dissolved pollutants such as: heavy metals, bacteria, and phosphorus/nutrients.
• Built in high flow bypass.
• Internal pretreatment debris screen chamber separates and keeps solid materials out of the filter cartridge area.

Phosphorus and Nutrients Stormwater Solutions for Centralized Precast Vaults

Centralized treatment vaults are worth considering for those looking to treat large volumes of water at a single location rather than purchasing catch basin inserts for each inlet. Using one of our centralized vault solutions can drastically cut down on costs related to treating a high quantity of inlets, it also greatly simplifies maintenance operations.

StormSafe Cartridge Based Filter Vault

The StormSafe cartridge based filter vault system are ideal for central drainage areas that require stormwater treatment beyond simple gross pollutants and trash removal. By utilizing the same proven filter technology from the StormBasin product line, the StormSafe Cartridge Vault can reduce concentrations of targeted stormwater pollutants in a cost-effective manner. The StormSafe Cartridge Vault is ideal for parking areas, storage areas and maintenance yards that have high concentrations of heavy metals, and oils & grease loads. The StormSafe Cartridge Vault is a good choice for projects with a treatment flow rate of 3 cubic feet/sec or less.
