Ultra-Urban Filter - Curb Openings
View/Download Product Specification
The Ultra Urban Filter (UUF) Curb Opening Series is a simple yet effective tool for stormwater filtration of hydrocarbons, trash and sediment. When UUFs contain Smart Sponge® Plus, the filters also reduce coliform bacteria. The unique micro porosity of Smart Sponge allows each CO1414 filter a hydraulic flow rate of more than 250 gallons per minute and has proven effective in removing more than 80% of hydrocarbons and total suspended solids (TSS) (300 microns or greater). Additionally, a significant reduction in coliform bacteria can be obtained.The unique design of the Curb Opening Series allows crews to easily hang the appropriate number of filters in each drain on a simple mounting bracket. The product is designed with a lateral bypass to utilize each box as well as an overflow capability to eliminate the potential for street flooding in the event of a plugged filter.
Actual field data collected by the City of Long Beach based on the installation of 1900 Ultra Urban Filters in 2004 demonstrated over the 3 year test period an estimated 91,963 pounds of trash, debris, sediment, oil, grease and organics were removed.
