    The Debris Separating Baffle Box (DSBB) - Full Trash Capture Solution

    The Debris Separating Baffle Box (DSBB) is an advanced stormwater treatment system utilizing a non-clogging screen technology and separation to capture pollutants from stormwater. The non-clogging screening system stores trash and debris above the sedimentation chambers, minimizing nutrient leaching, bacterial growth, bad odors, and allows for easier maintenance.

    WHY CONTECH START A PROJECT

    Select DSBB Approvals

    DSBB has been evaluated by some of the most stringentstormwater technology evaluation organizations in North America,including:

    • New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
    • New Jersey Corporation for Advanced Technology (NJCAT) Verification
    • California Water Resources Control Board, Full Capture Certification

        DSBB Maintenance

        • 可以进行地面维护年代tandard vacuumtruck through a manhole or hatch.
        • The screen system allows gross solids to be removed without vacuuming out water or sediment chambers. Screen systems are hinged for easy access to sediments collected in lower chambers.
        • Contech has a network ofCertified Maintenance Providersto provide maintenance on the DSBB and other stormwater BMP’s.

        DSBB Separator Features and Benefits

        FEATURES BENEFITS
        Dual-stage treatment system - separation and screening Superior pollutant removal
        Trash and debris stored above water Easier maintenance while minimizing nutrient leaching, bacterial growth, and bad odors
        Unimpeded high-flow path In-line installation, eliminating the need for a diversion structure
        Oil skimmer and optional hydrocarbon
        booms

        		 Superior hydrocarbon capture
        Turbulence deflectors Minimizes scour, especially during high flows

        The Debris Separating Baffle Box (DSBB) - An Advanced Stormwater Treatment Solution

        The DSBB combines gravity separation and non-blocking screen technology to capturetrash, sediment, and hydrocarbons from stormwater.

        DSBB捕捉和保留100%的垃圾和德bris equal to or greater than 5 mm in diameter and meets the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Full Capture Certification Requirements. Floating trash and debris are stored above the static water level where it can dry out between storms and can be easily removed during maintenance events.

        With internal high-flow bypass, shallow vault design, and multiple sizes, it is the ideal product for sites with groundwater, utility, or bedrock constraints.

        How the DSBB Separator Works

        • As runoff enters the vault, thesplitter screen directs flows to the filtration screens and provides additional screen flow capacity.
        • The filtration screens collect and store trash, debris, organics, and oxygen demanding substances abovestanding water.
        • The turbulence deflectors located below the screens prevent the resuspension of captured pollutants.
        • Sediment is collected in the sediment chambers, maximizing TSS removal and eliminating scouring during extreme flow rates.
        • The skimmer and boom collect hydrocarbons and control flow velocity which improves removal efficiency.

        High Volume Applications

        Designing, manufacturing and installing high-volume stormwater detention and treatment systems requires expert engineering, planning, and logistical support to manage costs and keep the project on schedule and under budget. When you need a proven, large scale stormwater management system,“Go Big” with Contech.

        Trash Removal

        Many municipalities have enacted specific trash controlstrategies in response to TMDLs or municipal stormwaterpermit requirements. To address these issues, stormwater managers, municipalofficials, and other stakeholders need solutions like Contech's Catch Basin Inlet Filters, Debris Separating Baffle Box, and CDS hydrodynamic separator thatcan remove trash and TSS, are easy to maintain, andcan easily be implemented in a retrofit scenario.

        Hydrodynamic Separation for Water Quality

        Our hydrodynamic separation products (including the CDS, Cascade Separator, SciCloneX, Vortechs, and Stormceptor Systems) are reliable, easy to install, and offer high-performance, proven, stormwater pollutant removal. The systems are widely accepted for effective solids removal and can be designed to achieve your site treatment goals - including TMDL requirements for TSS and trash.

        Pretreatment to Storage

        Our hydrodynamic separators are frequently installed upstream of detention and infiltration systems as pretreatment devices. By capturing the majority of sediment, hydrocarbons and trash and debris upstream of the storage system, maintenance becomes much easier as material is congregated into a smaller device with clear access for cleanout. Additionally, by utilizing pretreatment upstream of infiltration systems, sediment that would have clogged the stone voids in the storage envelope surrounding the storage chamber can be captured before entering the storage system thus extending the longevity of the entire system.
