Approvals
Applications
The Kraken Filter’s ability to accommodate high flow rates while requiring minimal maintenance,
makes it beneficial for a wide range of stormwater applications.
System Operation

Pretreatment
Pretreatment captures trash, hydrocarbons, and sediments.

Membrane Filtration
Riser tubes create an upward flow path, so loading is evenly distributed over the vertical height of the filters.

Peak Capacity
After water passes through the filter and reaches the top of the membrane filters, flow through begins.

Bypass
Bypass prevents scouring of sediments captured within the filtration chamber.
