The problem
Storm water is one of the main causes of pollution in cities. All the water runoff that is produced accumulates waste and pollutants throughout the city and is finally poured into rivers and water bodies, affecting environments and natural resources that people depend on.
The technology
The BaySeparator is a water treatment system that treats runoff throughout entire storms, no matter their intensity and duration.
In the following link it is explained how it works with different storm intensities:

Deployment
BaySaver Techonogies Inc. is a company that designs and manufactures stormwater treatment products. They created the BaySeparator in order to improve older systems that treated only the first flush of runoff. The idea was to create a new technology able to treat the stormwater throughout the entire storm.

This product has 2 standard pre-cast manholes which allows the removal and storage of pollutants. BaySeparator controls the flow of water to give the most efficient treatment.
The product can be customized to fit the needs of the consumers in terms of specific diameter and depth of the manholes and other project requirements.
