Filter Fabric

There are a number of UltraTech stormwater management products for standard storm drains. A smaller number for combination drains… but still a fair amount. So, when we were challenged by a customer for a solution to keep residual fuel from being washed down their trench drains, we were surprised that there wasn't something already available.
The challenge with most trench drains is their shape… long, narrow and shallow. That combination makes typical drain solutions impractical. with the Ultra-Trench Filter Boom, we move the filtering solution above the drain and actually treat the water before it even reaches the drain. Using Ultra-Filter-Tex® material, hydrocarbons are quickly removed and captured from stormwater flow, allowing only clean rainwater to flow into the trench drain. Ultra-Trench-Filter-Boom.jpg
Uses:
Ultra-Filter-Tex® Curtain Filter Fabrics
Recycled fabric allows water to instantly filter through while pulling off oil. Ultra-Filter-Tex® material, a long-time staple in our stormwater management product line is an exceptional tool for oil spill cleanup. The rolled fabric is different than polypropylene in that it allows water to instantly filter through the material and pulls off the oil selectively as the material is hydrophilic. Polypropylene repels the water and this can make it take longer for the oil to be readily absorbed in a surf environment where the oil is no longer a surface sheen, rather it is being broken up in the surf.

Non-Woven Geotextile Filter Fabrics
Our Non-Woven Geotextile Filter Fabric is the perfect material for drainage and filtration applications at job sites and other sensitive areas. The needle punched pores creates a geotextile filter fabric that allows water to flow through the material while holding back sediment, silt and other aggregates. In areas dealing with filtration requirements and/or erosion control this provides effective environmental protection. Non-Woven-Geo-Textile.jpg Mirafi Non-woven Geotextile Filter Fabrics
(7) Mirafi® N-Series nonwoven polypropylene geotextiles are used for soil separation, drainage in Transportation, Building Site, and Water Infrastructure projects such as subsurface drainage, permanent erosion control and roadway separation applications providing environmental protection. Mirafi® N-Series nonwovens combine high water flow rates, high soil interaction and durability while providing excellent soil particle retention.Uses:
- Construction: Mirafi ® N-Series polypropylene nonwoven geotextiles easily conform to the ground or trench surface for trouble free installation.
- Strength: Mirafi ® N-Series geotextiles withstand installation stresses with high puncture and tear resistance.
- Drainage: High permittivity properties provide high water flow rates while providing excellent soil retention.
- Environmental: Mirafi ® N-Series geotextiles are chemically stable in a wide range of aggressive environments.
- Cost Effective: Mirafi ® N-Series geotextiles provide economical solutions to many civil engineering applications including a cost-effective alternative to graded aggregate filters.
