The Tornado- GPT system utilizes vortex radial flow to create a whirlpool movement in the water. This flow moves larger debris and non-dissolved pollutants to the center, away from the outflow screen. Our uniquely designed outflow screen systems deflect these pollutants along the face of the screen, providing further removal. The sharp angle of entry through the screen provides a high percentage of removal, allowing only dissolved particles, minimal sedimentation, and water to flow out. The whirlpool flow also forces gross pollutants and sediments down to the bottom of the tank, where they are retained until maintenance.Our fully FRP system offers numerous advantages over existing systems on the market. Our experience in FRP system construction, design, and manufacture makes us extremely knowledgeable in the field of FRP applications. FRP is a lightweight material that is pound-for-pound much stronger than concrete, making it ideal for below-ground installation. Its resistance to water-driven erosion, high strength, and resistance to soil pressure forces allow for a long life of operation without failure or replacement.

How to specify
Tornado GPT.

Start with the project requirements.
We’ll help you confirm the right configuration.

  1. Treatment target

    Define the pollutants to capture and the approved water quality objectives.

  2. Hydraulic duty

    Provide treatment and peak bypass flows, pipe sizes and available head.

  3. Model selection

    Confirm the model, screening arrangement and pollutant storage capacity.

  4. Site layout

    Show inlet and outlet orientation, invert levels and finished surface level.

  5. Structural conditions

    Confirm cover loading, groundwater and the excavation and backfill design.

  6. Maintenance access

    Provide access for inspection and pollutant removal, with current model drawings and manuals.

Suggested specification wording
