Deep Dive into SPELFilter & SPELBasin: Engineering Stormwater Solutions

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Co-presented by SPEL New Zealand’s Matthew Scarlett (Business Development Manager), and Dr. Darren Drapper (Principal Engineer and Director of Drapper Environmental Consultants), this webinar will explore the benefits of filtration and basin solutions in local stormwater scenarios.

SPELFilter is a filter cartridge system that uses a siphonic flow to provide a low-maintenance, high-performance solution for tertiary stormwater treatment.

An innovative design with no moving parts, these units have an automatic backwash that helps renew the filter at the end of storm events. The filter system has a range of benefits, including long media life, non-leaching inorganic filter components, low on-site footprint, and excellent removal efficiency.

SPEL’s approach to modular bioretention basins, the SPELBasin is a self-contained filtration unit. Its low-footprint design incorporates the following treatment functions – screening, hydrodynamic separation, media filtration and bioretention filtering.

With excellent pollution removal capabilities, the SPELBasin is a versatile system that can be used in a variety of different sites and specifications. Our webinar will look at the technology behind these systems, and the way they can be partnered with other stormwater solutions.
