Downstream Defender®

Overview

The Downstream Defender is an advanced hydrodynamic vortex separator that provides impressive and reliable removal of fine and coarse particles, hydrocarbons and floatable debris from surface water runoff, delivering high levels of stormwater treatment over a wide range of flow rates.

Available in a range of sizes, it can function as either pretreatment or as a stand-alone device, providing engineers and contractors with a flexible, cost-effective stormwater management option.
