BIRCOprime® | First-class sedimentation, all along the drainage

Rainwater treatment: Let's settle for sustainability!
 

BIRCOprime®, effective sedimentation directly in the drainage channel

Maximum retention, maximum sedimentation: With BIRCOprime®, BIRCO introduces a rainwater treatment system that cleans the water while it flows off. This particle sedimentation takes place invisibly directly inside the drainage channel system. This is because sedimentation in BIRCOprime® takes place via a weir system that is ­integrated into the channel
 – without any chemical or biological treatment at all.

Rainwater can be contaminated with pollutants that should not enter our reservoirs and groundwater. A large proportion of these pollutants are bound in particles to so-called filterable substances (AFS). In most cases, filtration is not necessary, thanks to BIRCOprime® these substances are consistently separated through effective sedimentation.

1. The water is channelled over rising weirs.
2. In the process, sediments settle between the weir elements in the sedimentation chambers and are effectively retained.
3. Oils and other light liquids are separated from the draining water by the retention unit. 
4. Maintenance is only required every 1-5 years and is very easy to manage.
