B. Filter Cartridges: External shell of the filter cartridges shall be <br /> substantially constructed of polyethylene or equivalent material acceptable <br /> to the manufacturer. Filtration media shall be arranged in a layered fashion <br /> to maximize available filtration area. An orifice plate shall be supplied <br /> with each cartridge to restrict flow rate to a maximum of 30 gpm. <br /> C. Filter Media: Filter media shall be by BaySaver Technologies Inc. or <br /> approved alternate. Filter media shall consist of the following mix. Sand <br /> media shall have an effective particle size of not more than 0.49mm, it <br /> shall have an angular grain shape, a hardness of 7, be 99% silica, and not <br /> leach nutrients. The media shall also include a blend of Perlite and <br /> Activated Alumina. <br /> 2.2 PERFORMANCE <br /> A. The stormwater filter system shall be capable of treating 100% of the <br /> required treatment flow at full sediment load conditions. <br /> B. The stormwater filter system's cartridges shall have no moving parts. <br /> C. The stormwater treatment unit shall be designed to remove at least 80% of <br /> the suspended solids load. Said removal shall be based on full-scale testing <br /> using SIL-CO-SIL 106 media gradation with a d50 of 23 microns <br /> (manufactured by US Silica) or equivalent. Said full scale testing shall <br /> have included sediment capture based on actual total mass collected by the <br /> stormwater filtration system. <br /> D. The stormwater filtration system shall reduce incoming turbidity <br /> (measured as NTUs) by 50% or more and shall not have any components <br /> that leach nitrates or phosphates. <br /> E. The stormwater filtration cartridge shall be equipped with a hydrodynamic <br /> backwash mechanism to extend the filter's life and optimize its <br /> performance. Inlet flow shall be upflow. <br /> F. The stormwater filtration system shall be designed to remove a minimum <br /> of 50%of the incoming Total Phosphorus (TP) load. <br /> G. The stormwater filtration system's cartridges shall have the following <br /> minimum flow and sediment load capacities: <br /> BaySaver Technologies, Inc. 2 03/31i09-Version 2.0 <br />
