Stormwater Interceptor
The StormTrooper® AQ is a patented stormwater wet vault specifically designed to intercept free oils, grease, total suspended sediments (TSS), debris, and other pollutants found in storm-water runoff. The StormTrooper® AQ features enhanced gravity separation technology, which utilizes coalescing media plates (CMP) engineered to a performance prediction based on Stokes’s Law. This cutting-edge technology is now available for use to protect the Edwards Aquifer and other sensitive watersheds for future generations.

Untreated storm water enters the “Grit Chamber” on the inlet side of the StormTrooper® AQ. Larger particles, as well as semi buoyant material, are captured in this chamber to prevent excessive clogging and obstruction of the frontal area of the coalescing media plates. This process also reduces the potential for short circuiting and higher velocities through the plates. The “diffusion baffle,” which separates the two chambers, works to perform two vital functions. First, it distributes flow evenly through the entire cross-section of the unit allowing for a more uniform delivery of pollutants through the plate. Next, a water quality orifice regulates flow through the plates and the lower section of unit to prevent re-suspension of pollutants. Each StormTrooper® AQ has a specific maximum flow rate that has been pre-calibrated. Higher flow rates by-pass the system once the pre-calibrated flow rate is exceeded.
