There are a number of UltraTech stormwater management products for standard storm drains. A smaller number of combination drains: but still a fair amount. So when we were challenged by a customer for a solution to keep residual fuel from being washed down their trench drains, we were surprised that there wasn't something already available. The challenge with most trench drains is their shape: long, narrow and shallow. That combination makes typical drain solutions impractical. With the Ultra-Trench Filter Boom, we move the filtering solution above the drain and actually treat the water before it even reaches the drain. Using X-Tex material, hydrocarbons are quickly removed and captured from the stormwater flow, allowing only clean rainwater to flow into the trench drain.
- A simple yet effective solution to keeping oil, gas, fuel and other pollutants out of trench drains
- Made with Ultra-X-Tex, a high performance sorbent and filtering media that is capable of absorbing an average of 13 times its own weight of liquid hydrocarbons
- Allows large volumes of water to pass through while absorbing liquid hydrocarbons, including petroleum, animal and vegetable oils
- The center of the Ultra-Trench Filter Boom is designed to allow rebar (not included) to be inserted - providing additional weight to keep the unit in place
- Designed to handle any type of vehicular traffic unlike sorbent socks' which burst or deform when driven over
