• BMPs Defined: Common-sense actions required, by law, to
keep soil and other pollutants out of streams and lakes.
BMPs are designed to protect water quality and to prevent
new pollution.
• Find reliable equipment that works well, low cost, easy to
install, easy to maintain and manage.

TESTIMONIAL:
“We selected the Bio-Microbics®
BioBarrier®
system [FOR THE
NETZERO WATER DORM] based on its competitive cost and
projected effluent quality, including our particular need to bring
total nitrogen to below drinking water standards in the effluent.
In fact, with the addition of alkalinity and ethanol feeders,
nitrogen was never an issue, and the system ran trouble-free
for the duration of the 2-year experiment with no attention
other than chemical tank recharge.”
~James Englehardt, PhD, University of Miami (UM) College of
Engineering Professor & Chief Investigator for “Design for
Autonomous Net-Zero Water Buildings (Dormitory).”

What Is High Strength Waste?
• High BOD, COD, & High TSS
• High Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) content
• Anything that is not “residential waste” is high-strength
• A greywater recycling system added to a residential
property, where it reduces water consumption but not
the waste is considered high-strength.

BioSTORM® Explained
• BioSTORM® is a
pre-engineered stormwater
treatment system designed
to remove trash, sediment,
oil and other pollutants from
stormwater flows.
• 2-stage treatment including
primary screening and
secondary liquid/solid and oil/water separation.
• Off-line design, housed in pre-cast concrete tanks.
• Flexible sizing, simple maintenance.

28.
How It Works
1. The first stage of the
BioSTORM system utilizes the
StormTEE® deflector screen to
separate trash and larger
solids from the stormwater
flow.
2. Forward flow and smaller
solids pass through the
StormTEE, continue through
the outlet tee and enter the
main treatment chamber
containing the BioSTORM’s
modular separation unit, or
discharge back into the storm
sewer.

29.
3. BioSTORM’s separation module
contains coalescing media that
acts as both a liquid/solids
separation barrier and an
oil/water separator.
4. Smaller sediment is caught in
the media’s honeycomb
labyrinth and eventually
descends to the bottom of the
tank for storage and easy
removal.

30.
5. Oils entering the system
coalesce (gather together to
form larger globules) and rise
to the water surface where it
remains in the BioSTORM
module for storage and easy
removal.
6. The clean rainwater is then
directed up an outlet baffle and
into the effluent pipe for
discharge back into the main
stormwater network or
discharge into the receiving
environment.

31.
Variable Flow + Consistent Treatment = Peace of Mind
• BioSTORM® does not rely on particle velocities to maintain high levels
of liquid/solids separation.
• Designed for multiple applications, including Phase I and II compliance.
• Wide range of sizes and flow ranges
• Automatic safety bypass for flows beyond design capacity
• Full treatment during first flush all the way to maximum flow rates
• So whether a light rain or a heavy storm, BioSTORM’s retention of
pollutants remains consistent.

32.
MaintenanceMaintenance
• Check the solids level in each tank.
• If oils have entered the system, they will
be floating just above the coalescing
media inside the BioSTORM separation
module. This layer of oily water should be pumped out.
• Lastly, swab the StormTEE® vigorously several times to dislodge any debris or trash that
may be lodged in or against the angled slots.
Like most stormwater treatment systems,
maintenance will vary greatly depending
on local conditions and frequency of rain
events. Routine maintenance consists of:

33.
BioSTORM® Recap
• Pre-engineered system removes trash, sediment, oil & other suspended solids
• Maintains treatment performance regardless of hydraulic surge flows
• Unique modular design provides efficient liquid/solids and oil/water separation
• Easy to install – mounts easily in pre-cast tanks
• Easy to maintain – requires only periodic removal of debris
• Flexible treatment sizing capacities.
• Retrofits into existing systems
• Installs into readily available pre-cast tanks

Growing populations + economic growth =

35.
To continue the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
forwaterand sanitation,
most municipal “Operations Programs”
should include maintenance sections…
With properdesign, construction and operatortraining
regarding the sewersystemof a municipality, it’s
important to develop the following Programs to help
prevent, identify, and/oraddress issues:
• PRE-TREATMENT PROGRAM
• CORROSION CONTROL PROGRAM
• FATS, OILS, AND GREASE PROGRAM
• STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
It is equally important to identify the best
PARTNERto combat these issues...
