HDS systems play a vital role in protecting our waterways by removing high levels of sediment, trash, debris, and hydrocarbons from stormwater runoff. Frequently used as end-of-pipe solutions, they are also used to provide stormwater quality treatment in places where space is limited. HDS systems capture and retain a variety of stormwater pollutants and are very easy to maintain. These two key benefits have resulted in new uses for HDS technologies, such as pretreating detention, Low Impact Development, and green infrastructure practices, as well as other land-based stormwater treatment systems.
