Description
A DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR FILTERING STORMVVATER
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a device and a method for filtering stormwater.
More specifically the present invention relates to a device and a method for filtering stormwater inside a storm drain to remove pollutants from it.
Stormwater, which also is called urban runoff, is surface runoff of rainwater, melted snow or ice, wash water or similar from different types of surfaces. Such surfaces can be parking lots, sidewalks, roofs, and similar surfaces, sometimes referred to as impervious surfaces. Water running off from such surfaces tends to become polluted by e.g. gasoline, oil, heavy metals, trash, fertilizers, pesticides and other pollutants. During rain these surfaces carry polluted stormwater to storm drains. Storm drains can be connected to a drainage system for discharge into receiving surface waters, such as a canal, river, lake, reservoir, sea, ocean, or other surface water, with or without treatment of the stormwater before discharge.
Storm drains generally comprise a vertical pipe having an inlet, such as a horizontal grated inlet or a side inlet, being connected to a drainage system.
Such storm drains can comprise a catchbasin, also called sump or gully-pot, for catching small objects, such as sediment, sand, gravel, pebbles, twigs, trash and similar. Then, the catchbasin serves as a water-filled trap for trapping objects and prevent such objects from entering the subsequent drainage system. Such catchbasins also prevent gases from the drainage system from escaping. Storm water from the top of the catchbasin drains into the subsequent drainage system. The catchbasins can be emptied by means of vacuum trucks at suitable time intervals.

Storm drains can be connected to a drainage system for discharge into receiving surface waters, such as a canal, river, lake, reservoir, sea, ocean, or other surface water, with or without treatment of the stormwater before discharge.
Storm drains generally comprise a vertical pipe having an inlet, such as a horizontal grated inlet or a side inlet, being connected to a drainage system.
Such storm drains can comprise a catchbasin, also called sump or gully-pot, for catching small objects, such as sediment, sand, gravel, pebbles, twigs, trash and similar. Then, the catchbasin serves as a water-filled trap for trapping objects and prevent such objects from entering the subsequent drainage system. Such catchbasins also prevent gases from the drainage system from escaping. Storm water from the top of the catchbasin drains into the subsequent drainage system. The catchbasins can be emptied by means of vacuum trucks at suitable time intervals.

In some embodiments, the present invention results in a possibility to monitor the device in an efficient manner.
The present invention relates to a device for filtering stormwater inside a storm drain, wherein the device comprises a filter unit and a floating carrier for carrying the filter unit, wherein the filter unit comprises a bottom portion and a top portion, and wherein the carrier comprises a recess for receiving the bottom portion of the filter unit, which recess extends axially through the carrier so that the filter unit can be arranged on top of the carrier while the bottom portion of the filter unit is arranged in the recess, whereby at least a part of the bottom portion of the filter unit is adapted to be arranged below a surface of the stormwater inside the storm drain when the device is arranged in a floating condition inside the storm drain, and through apertures extending
3 radially from an outer surface of the carrier to the recess, so that stormwater can pass through the apertures and reach the recess when the device is arranged in a floating condition inside the storm drain.
A major portion of the pollutants in stormwater is present at the surface of the stormwater inside the storm drain, also sometimes called the surface film. A part of the bottom portion of the filter unit, when the device is arranged in a floating condition in a storm drain, is arranged at the surface by means of the floating carrier. Further, the apertures in the floating carrier result in that stormwater at said surface may engage the bottom portion of the filter unit to remove pollutants accumulated at the surface of the stormwater. Further, the structure of the device results in easy installation of the device and easy replacement of the filter unit. For example, the filter unit is detachable from the carrier, wherein the filter unit may be replaced and the carrier may be reused.
The top portion of the filter unit may be formed with an inclined surface, e.g. by the filter unit being tapered or cone shaped, for guiding non-filterable objects to the surface of the stormwater inside the storm drain. When non-filterable objects, such as twigs, trash, sand and similar, fall through the storm drain it will then hit the inclined surface and continue along therewith to the surface of stormwater and then continue further to a catchbasin in the storm drain. Hence, non-filterable objects are prevented from accumulating on top of the filter unit to impede its function.
The filter unit may comprise a plurality of different filter layers. For example, the filter unit may comprise one or more of an absorbing material, a heavy metal filtering peat and activated carbon. The filter unit may comprise a first filter layer including a first absorbing material, a second filter layer including heavy metal filtering peat, a third filter layer including activated carbon and a fourth filter layer including a second absorbing material, which layers may be arranged in sequence or contiguous sequence. The first filter unit may be arranged at the top and the fourth filter unit may be arranged at the bottom. The fourth filter layer may be least partially arranged in the bottom

For example, the second filtering layer 25 is arranged for removing heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., from the stormwater.
The third filter layer 26 is arranged to remove pollutants remaining in the stormwater after having passed the first and second filter 24, 25.
According to one embodiment, the activated carbon of the third layer 26 is formed as granules. For example, the activated carbon of the third layer 26 is formed as granules having a particle size of 1-10 mm, 2-7 mm or 3-5 mm. For example, the active carbon is a conventional active carbon for water treatment.
The fourth filter layer 27 is arranged for removing pollutants at the surface A of the stormwater inside the storm drain. Hence, the fourth filter layer 27 is arranged to be at the surface A, wherein a portion of the fourth filter layer 27 is submerged in the stormwater. According to one embodiment, the fourth filter layer 27 comprises an absorbing material of a similar type as the first filter layer 24, e.g. complying with the requirements set out in table 1 above. For example the absorbing material of the fourth filter layer is a .. synthetic fibre felt or fleece.
The filter unit 17 comprises, for example, a cover forming a stormwater permeable housing. For example, the cover is a perforated plastic cover, wherein the perforations have a diameter of 0.1-5 mm, 0.5-2 mm or about 1 mm. The cover is not disclosed in the drawings.
The carrier 18 is arranged for carrying the filter unit 17, so that the top portion 22 of the filter unit 17 is arranged above the surface A of the stormwater inside the storm drain 11 and at least a part of the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17 is arranged below said surface A. For example, the carrier 18 is arranged in a floating material, i.e. a material having less density than water, such as an expanded plastic material. For example, the carrier 18 is formed in expanded polystyrene.
The carrier 18 comprises a recess 28 for receiving the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17. The recess 28 extends axially through the carrier 18, so that the filter unit 17 can be arranged on top of the carrier 18 while the bottom portion 21 is arranged in the recess 28. When arranged in a storm drain lithe device 19 is floating, wherein the filter unit 17 is arranged to engage incoming stormwater, which is illustrated by means of the arrows B in Fig. 3. For example, the top portion 22 of the filter unit 17 is primarily arranged to engage incoming stormwater B falling substantially in a vertical .. direction. When incoming stormwater come into contact with the filter unit non-filterable objects are guided by the shape of the filter unit 17 to the gap 19 and the surface A of the stormwater in the gap 19. The filterable part of the stormwater is filtered by the filter unit 17. For example, a main part of incoming stormwater B initially engages the first filter layer 24, wherein stormwater passing the first filter layer 24 then engages the second filter layer 25 and subsequently the third and fourth filter layers 26, 27.
According to the illustrated embodiment the recess 28 is optionally bevelled and wider in its top to guide the bottom portion 21 into the recess and facilitate assembly of the device 10. For example, the carrier 18 is provided with an optional flange 29 forming a wider top of the carrier 18 to 5 support the filter unit 17.
The carrier 18 comprises through apertures 30 for conducting stormwater into the recess 28 and into contact with the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17 for removal of pollutants in the stormwater at the surface A.
The apertures 30 extend radially from an outer surface of the carrier 18 to the 10 recess 28. Hence, when the device 10 is arranged in a storm drain lithe carrier 18 is partially submerged in the stormwater and thus positioned below the surface A, wherein at least a part of the recess 28 and at least some of the apertures 30 are located below the surface A of the stormwater inside the storm drain 11. Then, at least a part of the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17, i.e. at least a part of the fourth filter layer 27, is arranged in the recess 28 and below the surface A. Consequently, stormwater at the surface A is conducted radially through the apertures 30, which is illustrated by the arrows C. The radially conducted stormwater C is conducted into the recess 28 and into contact with the filter unit 17 for removing pollutants in the stormwater.
For example, the stormwater C is conducted to the fourth filter layer 27 in the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17, so that pollutants on the surface A
or close to the surface A engages the filter unit 17 and are removed by it.
According to one embodiment of the invention the device 10 comprises a sensor 31 for detecting the filter capacity of the filter unit 17. For example, the sensor 31 is a pressure sensitive sensor for detecting the surrounding pressure. The sensor 31 is arranged below the surface A of the stormwater inside the storm drain 11. Said pressure is readily calculated to obtain the depth of the device 10 in the stormwater, wherein a change in the depth of the device 10 can be calculated Said depth corresponds to the weight of the device 10, wherein the added weight, i.e. the weight of filtered material in the filter unit 17, is calculated Said weight is compared to the total weight capacity of the filter unit 17, wherein the remaining filter capacity is calculated.
The senor 31 is, for example, connected to a central monitoring unit for monitoring a plurality of devices 10 arranged in different storm drains 11.
According to one embodiment, the sensor 31 is included in an RFID
transponder having an ID-number and the pressure sensor to detect the weight of the device and send a signal to the central monitoring unit when a predetermined weight has been exceeded or a sudden weight change has been detected.

For example, the second filtering layer 25 is arranged for removing heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., from the stormwater.
The third filter layer 26 is arranged to remove pollutants remaining in the stormwater after having passed the first and second filter 24, 25.
According to one embodiment, the activated carbon of the third layer 26 is formed as granules. For example, the activated carbon of the third layer 26 is formed as granules having a particle size of 1-10 mm, 2-7 mm or 3-5 mm. For example, the active carbon is a conventional active carbon for water treatment.
The fourth filter layer 27 is arranged for removing pollutants at the surface A of the stormwater inside the storm drain. Hence, the fourth filter layer 27 is arranged to be at the surface A, wherein a portion of the fourth filter layer 27 is submerged in the stormwater. According to one embodiment, the fourth filter layer 27 comprises an absorbing material of a similar type as the first filter layer 24, e.g. complying with the requirements set out in table 1 above. For example the absorbing material of the fourth filter layer is a .. synthetic fibre felt or fleece.
The filter unit 17 comprises, for example, a cover forming a stormwater permeable housing. For example, the cover is a perforated plastic cover, wherein the perforations have a diameter of 0.1-5 mm, 0.5-2 mm or about 1 mm. The cover is not disclosed in the drawings.
The carrier 18 is arranged for carrying the filter unit 17, so that the top portion 22 of the filter unit 17 is arranged above the surface A of the stormwater inside the storm drain 11 and at least a part of the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17 is arranged below said surface A. For example, the carrier 18 is arranged in a floating material, i.e. a material having less density than water, such as an expanded plastic material. For example, the carrier 18 is formed in expanded polystyrene.
The carrier 18 comprises a recess 28 for receiving the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17. The recess 28 extends axially through the carrier 18, so that the filter unit 17 can be arranged on top of the carrier 18 while the bottom portion 21 is arranged in the recess 28. When arranged in a storm drain lithe device 19 is floating, wherein the filter unit 17 is arranged to engage incoming stormwater, which is illustrated by means of the arrows B in Fig. 3. For example, the top portion 22 of the filter unit 17 is primarily arranged to engage incoming stormwater B falling substantially in a vertical .. direction. When incoming stormwater come into contact with the filter unit non-filterable objects are guided by the shape of the filter unit 17 to the gap 19 and the surface A of the stormwater in the gap 19. The filterable part of the stormwater is filtered by the filter unit 17. For example, a main part of incoming stormwater B initially engages the first filter layer 24, wherein stormwater passing the first filter layer 24 then engages the second filter layer 25 and subsequently the third and fourth filter layers 26, 27.
According to the illustrated embodiment the recess 28 is optionally bevelled and wider in its top to guide the bottom portion 21 into the recess and facilitate assembly of the device 10. For example, the carrier 18 is provided with an optional flange 29 forming a wider top of the carrier 18 to 5 support the filter unit 17.
The carrier 18 comprises through apertures 30 for conducting stormwater into the recess 28 and into contact with the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17 for removal of pollutants in the stormwater at the surface A.
The apertures 30 extend radially from an outer surface of the carrier 18 to the 10 recess 28. Hence, when the device 10 is arranged in a storm drain lithe carrier 18 is partially submerged in the stormwater and thus positioned below the surface A, wherein at least a part of the recess 28 and at least some of the apertures 30 are located below the surface A of the stormwater inside the storm drain 11. Then, at least a part of the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17, i.e. at least a part of the fourth filter layer 27, is arranged in the recess 28 and below the surface A. Consequently, stormwater at the surface A is conducted radially through the apertures 30, which is illustrated by the arrows C. The radially conducted stormwater C is conducted into the recess 28 and into contact with the filter unit 17 for removing pollutants in the stormwater.
For example, the stormwater C is conducted to the fourth filter layer 27 in the bottom portion 21 of the filter unit 17, so that pollutants on the surface A
or close to the surface A engages the filter unit 17 and are removed by it.
According to one embodiment of the invention the device 10 comprises a sensor 31 for detecting the filter capacity of the filter unit 17. For example, the sensor 31 is a pressure sensitive sensor for detecting the surrounding pressure. The sensor 31 is arranged below the surface A of the stormwater inside the storm drain 11. Said pressure is readily calculated to obtain the depth of the device 10 in the stormwater, wherein a change in the depth of the device 10 can be calculated Said depth corresponds to the weight of the device 10, wherein the added weight, i.e. the weight of filtered material in the filter unit 17, is calculated Said weight is compared to the total weight capacity of the filter unit 17, wherein the remaining filter capacity is calculated.
The senor 31 is, for example, connected to a central monitoring unit for monitoring a plurality of devices 10 arranged in different storm drains 11.
According to one embodiment, the sensor 31 is included in an RFID
transponder having an ID-number and the pressure sensor to detect the weight of the device and send a signal to the central monitoring unit when a predetermined weight has been exceeded or a sudden weight change has been detected. When a predetermined weight of the device 10 has been exceeded it can indicate that the filter unit 17 is full and needs to be replaced.
The detection of a sudden weight change can indicate a substantial and local discharge of pollutants, which can be related to an event, such as a traffic accident or any other event.
