BaHM Treatment System

Bacteria & Heavy Metals

BaHM is a revolutionary solution engineered for industrial site owners and cities striving to meet water treatment regulations with a cost-effective long-term solution. This advanced system is designed to tackle the challenges of industrial site stormwater treatment, ensuring efficient pollution control, reduced environmental impact, and compliance with stringent water quality standards.

BaHM operates without the need for pumps and electronic controls, reducing maintenance, and operational costs and complexities.

Achieves up to 4x the flow rate compared to standard carbon and resin systems, facilitating faster and more efficient water treatment.

Offers up to 30% lower disposal costs than alternative media. The secret? A drastic reduction in retained water weight – just 1%, as opposed to the 30%-35% seen in carbon and resin systems.

Delivers significantly higher dissolved pollutant removal efficiency, making it a leader in its class.

Capable of accommodating four different media types for targeted pollutant removal. From standard oils and greases to heavy metals, bacteria, and emerging contaminants. (Note: PFAS treatment capabilities coming soon).

System Operation

Stage 1

Trash & Sediment Collection: Two stages of separation trap large trash, sediment, and hydrocarbons.

Stage 2

Media Filtration: Single or multiple media types target various pollutants of concern.

Stage 3

Controlled Discharge: An engineered manifold design effectively manages treatment and discharge volumes.

Stage 4

Drain-Down & High-Flow Bypass: The system is designed to completely drain down, and allow for safe flows during extreme weather events.
