FILTREXX ENVIROSOXX FOR POLLUTANT REMOVAL
We utilize compost biofilters and natural additives to help remove pollutants from stormwater runoff.
EnviroSoxx® are Compost Filter Soxx™ with one or more natural additives used to remove targeted pollutants from stormwater runoff, particularly in urban watersheds, sensitive receiving waters, and Total Maximum Daily Load - TMDL (§303d) listed water bodies. EnviroSoxx help industrial stormwater permit holders/MS4s comply with their permit by bioremediating hydrocarbons, heavy metals, bacteria, and nutrients.
EnviroSoxx® consist of sediment control devices with one or more natural additives used to remove invisible pollutants. EnviroSoxx can:
- Remove up to 99% of coliform bacteria
- Remove up to 73% of heavy metals
- Remove up to 92% of nutrients
- Remove up to 99% of hydrocarbons
3-WAY BIOFILTRATION
Biofiltration is a technique to control pollution by using living material to capture and biologically degrade process pollutants. A 3-way biofiltration system would entail the following areas:
- Physical: it traps sediment in matrix of varying pore spaces and sizes
- Chemical: it binds and adsorbs pollutants in storm runoff
- Biological: it degrades various compounds with bacteria and fungi
