Applications
Single Chamber Online Systems are primarily recommended for private development or as a complement to existing stormwater treatment.
Applications include:
- Parking lots
- Commercial buildings
- Golf courses and parks
- Marinas
- Forebay treatment for gravel wetlands or retention basins
- Stormwater recycling and reuse
Materials
Component materials and attachment materials are the same for all Single Chamber Online Systems. The material inside each System is identical.The components of the treatment System are constructed of marine-grade stainless steel. All joints are welded. All piping and associated connectors used to carry inflow and outflow for the Systems are HDPE pipe or approved equal capable of handling H20 loading.
The containment vault is constructed of precast reinforced concrete with a minimum strength of 5000psi. Walls are 6"-8" thick and the cover is 8" thick. The frame and cover are capable of handling H20 loading and are water tight.
Maintenance
Cleaning is achieved by accessing the System through the manhole opening in the street. Every chamber in the System is accessible from the street. All components fold and slide easily to allow for full access. No special training is required to maintain Aqualete Water Treatment Systems.Debris is removed with a vacuum truck and should be disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations for that material.
Suggested Maintenance Requirements
- Debris and biomass should be removed every six (6) months.
- Influent and effluent pipes should be checked for debris every six (6) months.
- Annual maintenance of the Systems should include a full cleaning of all chambers and an evaluation of the backflow preventer.
Single Chamber Offline Configurations
In these systems, runoff from the existing trunkline is diverted into one Aqualete Water Treatment System by way of a baffle. Runoff flow enters near the top of the system, is processed through our four-step separation sequence, and then directed back into the exiting drainage system for discharge into the receiving waterway.
Description
Storm Drain Technologies has seven, Single Chamber Offline models:
| • SDT1460 | • SDT1900 |
| • SDT1670 | • SDT1950 |
| • SDT1780 | • SDT1990 |
| • SDT1890 |
These models vary in size and thus, in the maximum flow rate they can accommodate.
The product includes an Aqualete Water Treatment System, which is contained within a precast concrete vault. In an offline system, drainage is redirected from the existing system by way of a diverter or baffle into the Aqualete System. The baffle is contained within an online drainage structure, either as a modified existing structure or as a doghouse placed over the existing drainage line.
The baffle should be set to divert at least the flow rate from the water quality storm and provide by-pass capabilities for larger volume storms. A backflow preventer should exist at the pipe connection bringing the treated water back to the existing drainage system and to prevent water from entering the system in a backwater condition.

Starr Water Treatment Systems are an improvement upon existing options because they do not face the same challenges that plague other devices.
The WTS2000 is beneficial to any municipal contractor, utility company or site-work contractor who must dewater a site into a nearby roadway or body of water in order to continue construction of a building, repair a water or gas pipe, install a pool or road, or repair or install infrastructure. It can be operated by any worker on a site and requires no specialized training.
Municipalities
The costly process of taking water decanted from MTDs during cleaning is no longer necessary. The water can now be pumped from the MTD, treated by the WTS2000, and discharged to any downstream location, providing a significant cost savings.
Starr Water Treatment Systems continually evaluates the WTS2000 through ongoing field and laboratory testing. Our results show reduction rates far beyond industry standards. The WTS2000 is the best product on the market today to meet the regulatory standards set forth by the EPA for soil erosion, sediment control, and dewatering.
Starr Water Treatment Systems has pioneered the science of accelerated sedimentation using dual inclined plate directional hydrodynamics. We have developed the WTS2000 to address the issue of soil erosion, sediment control, and pollution removal. The WTS2000 is a physical treatment device that achieves superior results using the science of accelerated sedimentation.
While there are dozens of applications for Aqualete Water Treatment Systems, Storm Drain Technologies has been approved for and is focusing on infrastructure retrofit for municipalities and private sector projects.
Storm Drain Technologies was established with a single mission in mind: to provide a safe, economical and green method for cleaning our water and preserving our environment for generations to come.
The Aqualete Water Treatment Systems’ exceptionally low maintenance requirements and associated costs are a result of smart engineering and intelligent design. Storm Drain Technologies understands what plagues many of the existing systems on the market today and has developed a product that works exceptionally well for less money.
Design Highlights that Keep Costs Low
Our system's cost-effectiveness is a result of a myriad of revolutionary design considerations that combine to set our solutions apart from our competitors.
- Compact size = low installation costs
- Accessibility = low maintenance costs
- the entire System can be cleaned and maintained via the manhole opening, eliminating the need to enter the vault
- stainless steel and concrete construction, no replaceable filters or moving parts means minimal need for repairs
- Four Phase Separation = low maintenance costs
- Other systems on the market collect debris, oil, grease, silt, and sand into one compartment. During maintenance, this “toxic soup” must be removed and treated as hazardous waste.
- With the Aqualete Systems’ separation sequence, debris can be removed and treated like standard reuse. This significantly reduces the amount of removed pollutants that must be handled and processed as hazardous waste, and consequently reduces ongoing maintenance costs.
Storm Drain Technologies has the lowest material and installation cost per acre treated ratio on the market today. 
Compared with the four alternatives (above) examined by The University of New Hampshire
Stormwater Center, the Aqualete Treatment System costs significantly less to install and maintain.
Ease Of Maintenance
Aqualete Water Treatment Systems were designed for easy, low-cost installation and maintenance. All cleaning is done from the street above the vault. Vault entry is not required for routine maintenance.
While each site has individual maintenance requirements, there are a few basic requirements established for all Aqualete Water Treatment Systems.
Minimum cleaning requirements include:
- Debris should be removed relative to site conditions, approximately twice per year.
- Inflow and outflow pipes should be checked for debris or clogging at the vault wall when the debris is removed. This can be accomplished without entering the vault.
- The remaining chambers are to be cleaned a minimum of once per year.
- The backflow preventer should be checked to ensure it is working properly during the annual maintenance of the system.
Recommendations
Aqualete recommends a maintenance log be kept for each system detailing:
- the date last cleaned
- the individual performing the maintenance
- the actions taken at the site
Cleaning schedules may vary depending on the conditions at the road surface. Additional cleaning may be required if the roads are heavily sanded or if the roads receive a heavy coating of debris that could wash into the system. This may occur should construction debris, sand or silt wash onto the street up stream of the system or after a winter with heavy sanding of the road.
All debris should be disposed of in accordance with New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regulations for that material.

The strength of Aqualete Water Treatment Systems resides in their versatility. Adaptability is paramount when addressing the needs of individual sites, particularly as it relates to flow rates and contributory drainage area.
