ARI Stormwater Filtration Device (SFD)
Remove waste, toxins, and biohazards ‘at source.’
Stop stormwater runoff adversely impacting our urban waterways and ocean.
The SFD captures waste and filters water right at the drain openings, the only entry points into the underground infrastructure.
Only proven ‘at source’ filtration
The SFD structure is lined with innovative ARI- material which captures 95% of the physical waste and filters the water of particulates to 63 microns.
The SFD adheres to the two 'Golden Rules' of 'at source' treatment:- No Impenetrable Barriers: Ensures the drain remains functional under all circumstances.
- Maintains Hydraulic Gradient Line: Does not impact the stormwater infrastructure's hydraulic gradient.
- Award-Winning Research: Data gathered by CSIRO, ChemCentre (NATA), and Curtin University, culminating in a Joint Industry PhD that won the prestigious Chancellor's Award for Science and Engineering.
- Published Findings: Research published in Elsevier (Stoten) in the US.
Removes waste and pollutants
The SFD provides comprehensive protection to prevent this waste from entering our waterways and ocean. The physical waste (vegetation, plastics, road base, construction waste, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals and more) and sediment is captured at the only openings into the infrastructure, the drain.
When used with optional ARI Pillows, the SFD offers comprehensive protection by effectively polishing stormwater for hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and PFAS, safeguarding groundwater and interconnected water environments from these hazardous substances.
The SFD protects groundwater, WSDU, living streams, wetlands, estuaries, lakes, rivers, and all interconnected stormwater receiving environments and oceans.
Easy to install and maintain
The SFD ‘drop in lift out’ devices are made from 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel for a long-lasting durable solution. SFD’s retrofit easily into existing drains are made to suit each drain.
The SFD is rugged, reverse-flushable, and reusable, ensuring long-term functionality without adding contaminants. The ARI inserts provide a way to dispose of waste in a proper manner before it causes long term damage.
The drop in lift out design makes servicing quick and easy, reducing maintenance time and ultimately reducing operational costs.Find out more about the future of stormwater management and how we can help you protect your water resources with a proven, innovative technology.
