Fabco Industries Heavy Metals 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 heavy metals 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 bacteria treatment stormwater solutions utilize our patented FabLite filter media for the most effective solution.

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

FabLite Heavy Metals Stormwater Treatment Technology and Filter Cartridge

FabLite is a compound of naturally occurring minerals, which due to its’ unique chemical and physical structure makes an ideal heavy metal stormwater filter treatment solution. FabLite is effective on dissolved heavy metals and low level hydrocarbons, toxic chemicals, and nitrogen compounds. FabLite can be utilized with our proprietary filter cartridges.

Heavy Metals 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 FabLite 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.
• Optional oil boom for treating hydrocarbons.
• Protected bypass keeps sediments and trash safely stored, even during extreme rain events.

Heavy Metals 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 FabLite cartridge based DownSpout Filter System.

Heavy Metals 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.
