Experimental Study on Particle Clogging of Biofilter Device in Urban Areas

Redahegn Silesh, Robert Pitt, Shirley E. Clark

Abstract

Experimental Study on Particle Clogging of Biofilter Device in Urban AreasBiofilter devices are becoming increasing popular stormwater management controls in urban areas to reduce runoff volume, peak flows and stormwater pollutants impact on receiving waters. However the performance of these systems is affected by clogging, either at the surface, on buried geotextiles, or at an underdrain outlet. This paper presents a study conducted to evaluate the clogging potential...Author(s)Redahegn SileshRobert PittShirley ClarkSourceProceedings of the Water Environment FederationSubjectSession 66: Emerging Solutions to Stormwater Problems Through Applied Research and DevelopmentDocument typeConference PaperPublisherWater Environment FederationPrint publication date Jan, 2011ISSN1938-6478SICI1938-6478(20110101)2011:12L.4283;1-DOI10.2175/193864711802764904Volume / Issue2011 / 12Content sourceWEFTECFirst / last page(s)4283 - 4293Copyright2011Word count165Subject keywordsBiofilterSmartDrain™underdrain
