The Jellyfish Filter System is a compact stormwater treatment technology that treats three times the flow capacity with one-third the footprint and one-fifth the weight of conventional filtration BMPs.
The technology is currently undergoing strict stormwater field test regimens and the initial findings have exceeded expectations especially in view of the Jellyfish Filter System’s exceptional performance in capturing, sediment, nutrients like phosphorus and metals, the company said.
Imbrium System product manager Joel Garbon said that the Jellyfish membrane technology, light-weight cartridges, easy maintenance and small footprint means lower overall costs for any project – which is exactly what private developers and municipalities want.
"Its signature membrane filtration tentacles trap over 85% of the total suspended solids and effortlessly capture neutrally-buoyant particles, oils and saturated hydrocarbon-based particles," Garbon said.
Imbrium Systems regional manager Laddie Fromelius said that the County of Los Angeles Technical Review Committee provided a stringent evaluation of the Jellyfish Filter System based on maintainability, hydraulic and structural design, as well as pollutant removal performance.
"The Jellyfish Filter System captures fine sediment particles less than 15-microns in size. So it passed the LA DPW evaluation with flying colors," Fromelius said.
