Abstract:The treatment efficiency of two proprietary stormwater treatment devices was tested at a freeway site in an ultra-urban part of Milwaukee, Wis. One treatment device is categorized as a hydrodynamic settling device (HSD) that removes pollutants by sedimentation and flotation. The other treatment device is categorized as a stormwater filtration device (SFD) that removes pollutants by filtration and sedimentation. During runoff events, flow measurements were recorded and water-quality samples were collected at the inlet and outlet of each device. An efficiency ratio and summation of loads (SOL) calculation were used to estimate the treatment efficiency of each device. Most constituents showed a reduction in average concentration and total load leaving the device, but a few constituents, especially dissolved ones, showed an increase in concentration and load at the outlets. The efficiency ratios for the HSD tend to be higher than the SOLs. In contrast the efficiency ratios and SOLs are about the same for the SFD.
