Biofiltration Planter Box

The StormVault Biofiltration System is a simple and highly versatile stormwater treatment solution. Through physical and chemical filtration, adsorption, and biological processes, StormVault Biofiltration efficiently removes total suspended solids, metals, nutrients, oil, and grease from stormwater runoff to meet water quality standards as a low impact development best management practice. With specially engineered filter media, the biofiltration system can treat higher flows than conventional units, allowing for a smaller footprint size and lower overall costs. Standard configurations include planter boxes, tree boxes, tree wells, and underground vaults. All configurations can be deployed with a traditional closed bottom or an open bottom to allow infiltration and promote groundwater recharge. Units can be supplied for inline, open grate, or curb inlet applications.

Planter Boxes are open top units for growing plants, bushes and shrubs.

This unit is a certified Green Infrastructure (GI), Best Management Practice (BMP), by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
