Easi-Hydro Separator<br />
P38<br />
Introduction<br />
<strong>FP</strong> <strong>McCann</strong> have designed and developed a new range Hydrodynamic Separators for the treatment of<br />
urban catchment storm-water runoff¬. The Easi-Hydro Separator provides a cost effective solution for<br />
designers, engineers and contractors involved in the provision of sustainable urban drainage systems. The<br />
Easi-Hydro Separator has no moving parts, requires no power and is constructed in precast reinforced<br />
concrete. All internal components are manufactured in GRP and stainless steel ensuring long asset life.<br />
The Easi-Hydro Separator has been independently tested by WRc and total solids removal rates range from<br />
85 to 92% have been measured. The Easi-Hydro Separator is also effective in the removal of hydrocarbons,<br />
litter and other storm-water debris.<br />
Operation<br />
The Easi-Hydro Separator is specifically designed to remove suspended solids, hydrocarbons and floatable<br />
debris from the storm-water runoff. The Easi-Hydro Separator chamber is constructed in pre-cast reinforced<br />
concrete and supplied complete with a unique, factory installed, GRP flow management module. This<br />
unique design produces low energy vortex flow patterns allowing the solids to settle to the bottom of the<br />
treatment chamber for subsequent removal. Re-suspension of the solids is minimised by provision of a GRP<br />
baffle plate positioned above the solids storage sump. Floatable debris is retained within the Easi- Hydro<br />
Separator and prevented from discharging by a dip outlet pipe and launder channel arrangement.<br />
Flows to treatment are controlled by a specially designed launder channel and inlet pipe arrangement.<br />
Flows in excess of the maximum treatment flow overflow a weir, bypass the treatment zone and directly<br />
discharge through the outlet pipe. This helps to minimize the effects of scour within the treatment<br />
compartment and optimises the performance of the unique Easi-Hydro Separator.<br />
