MaintenanceManual
Protector’s latest innovation in the field of gross pollutant traps is the Tornado – GPT. This system is designed to be our most efficient gross pollutant trap yet, incorporating various proven techniques for removing pollutants, including hydrodynamic separation, physical screening, hydrocarbon capture, sedimentation, and vortex flow for separation.
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.
The Tornado- GPT system comes in various sizes, capacities, silt capture sizes, and treatable flow rates. Our team at Protector can design a system tailored to meet the demands of any site.
Tornado- GPT is an advanced gross pollutant trap that utilizes a combination of vortex separation and indirect screening to remove particles larger than 1mm from stormwater runoff. Its unique design enables it to handle higher flows, prevent screen blinding, and retain a wide range of pollutants, including floatables, settleable solids, and naturally buoyant substances. Additionally, the internal hydrocarbon baffle captures free hydrocarbons and oils and prevents their release into the environment. If flows exceed the treatable rate, an internal weir diverts excess water to the outlet, while treated and bypass flows exit via the outlet pipe. With its high-performance capabilities, Tornado -GPT is an efficient and effective solution for managing urban stormwater quality and reducing the impact of urban runoff on natural ecosystems.

FAQ'S
The primary function of the FRP Gross Pollutant Trap with CDS Screen is to capture and remove large pollutants and debris from stormwater runoff to prevent them from entering water bodies.
FRP is used because it is highly durable, resistant to corrosion, and capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for long-term use in stormwater management systems.
The 316 stainless steel provides high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage, ensuring the durability and effectiveness of the Continuous Reflection Separation Screen in harsh and variable conditions.
The CDS screen uses continuous reflection separation technology to efficiently filter out pollutants by creating multiple layers of separation, allowing for effective trapping of debris and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
The trap is designed to capture a range of pollutants including leaves, litter, sediment, and other large debris that can clog drainage systems and affect water quality.
Inspection and maintenance frequency depend on the specific application and pollutant load, but it is generally recommended to check the trap at least quarterly or after significant storm events.
Yes, the CDS screen can be cleaned or replaced. Cleaning involves removing accumulated debris, while replacement requires detaching the old screen and installing a new one, typically following manufacturer guidelines.
The environmental benefits include improved water quality by preventing pollutants from entering natural water bodies, reducing the risk of blockages in drainage systems, and supporting sustainable stormwater management practices.
Â
FRP offers superior resistance to corrosion, a lightweight structure, and long-term durability compared to traditional materials like concrete or metal, which can corrode or degrade more quickly.
