FAQ

Q: What is a hydrodynamic separator?A: A hydrodynamic separator is a stormwater treatment device used to remove pollutants and sediment from runoff.

Q: Why is a hydrodynamic separator used?A: A hydrodynamic separator is used to improve water quality by removing pollutants and sediment from stormwater runoff.

Q: What does a hydrodynamic separator do?A: A hydrodynamic separator uses various mechanisms such as settling, screening, and sedimentation to remove pollutants and sediment from stormwater.

Q: How does a hydrodynamic separator work?A: A hydrodynamic separator works by directing stormwater through a series of chambers or treatment modules, allowing pollutants and sediment to settle out.

Q: What are the benefits of using a hydrodynamic separator?A: The benefits of using a hydrodynamic separator include improved water quality, reduced pollutant loads in receiving waters, and compliance with stormwater regulations.

Q: Are there different types of hydrodynamic separators?A: Yes, there are different types of hydrodynamic separators available, including vortex separators, swirl concentrators, and stormwater treatment units.

Q: What factors should be considered in hydrodynamic separator design?A: Factors to consider in hydrodynamic separator design include site conditions, flow rates, pollutant types, and maintenance requirements.

Q: Are there any regulations or guidelines for hydrodynamic separator design?A: Yes, there are regulations and guidelines at the federal, state, and local levels that govern hydrodynamic separator design and installation.

Q: Who can design a hydrodynamic separator?A: A qualified engineer or stormwater professional can design a hydrodynamic separator based on site-specific requirements and regulatory guidelines.
