SDS Aqua-Swirl® is a water separation solution that can be used as part of a complete water management programme.

It can be connected to a SDS GEOlight® stormwater attenuation or infiltration system to capture the majority of pollutants. It can also be used to extend the maintenance schedule of vegetative SuDS like ponds and basins.

How does it work?

SDS Aqua-Swirl® uses hydrodynamic separation technology, which operates under gravity flow, in order to maximise the removal of pollutants, that are typically found attached to silts and debris within surface water runoff, before its dispersal to a suitable outlet.

As well as recovering oils and floating debris, SDS Aqua-Swirl® effectively eliminates more than 80% of total suspended solids.

How is it installed?

SDS Aqua-Swirl® can be connected to a pre-existing stormwater management system as both inlet and outlet pipes can be tailored to site specific requirements.

Systems are sized according to site specific water flow rates, treatment and quality requirements and can even be manufactured to a bespoke size.

Due to its small size, single sealed unit and low weight, installation can be easily carried out without the need for heavy machinery.

Maintenance is simple and efficient. SDS Aqua-Swirl® has no moving parts and provides direct access via inspection chambers from the surface to the sediment and oils accumulated in the reservoir.
