A lab-scale vortex separator, based on a swirling motion to remove settleable particles, wasused to remove suspended solids in urban stormwater runoff. However, the treatment is limitedto the removal of large settleable particles. The synthesized stormwater runoff was madewith tap water and the addition of road sediment. The vortex separator has internal componentsdesigned to enhance vortex separation by minimizing the turbulence, increasing theeffi ciency, and preventing captured pollutants from washout. As the fl ow continues to spiraldown around the inlet baffl e, a low energy vortex motion directs settleable particles into theprotected sediment storage zone. Advanced vortex separation provided an extendable and stabilizedfl ow path while protecting the captured pollutants for a wide range of fl ow rates. Therange of the infl ow rate was 30?115 l/m, and the size of the infl uent particles varied from 75 to200 μm. Overall removal effi ciencies of 51.8% for SS, 26.6% for COD, 70.5% for TP, and 35.6% forTN were achieved. The effi ciency of particle removal for a high infl ow rate was better than fora low infl ow rate under the same condition of infl uent particles. The particle removal effi ciencyof the inlet baffl e improved by about 5?10% compared to without an inlet baffl e. |
