Systems and methods for stormwater management
A fluid management system can include a first chamber, a diffusion plate positioned in the first chamber configured to receive fluid and to direct the fluid along a bypass fluid flow path or a primary fluid flow path, a riser pipe positioned within the first chamber that conveys fluid from the diffusion plate into a second chamber, and a filtering apparatus positioned in the second chamber. The filtering apparatus can include a plate having a first opening, one or more modules coupled to the plate having one or more perforations and a second opening corresponding to the first opening, and filter media disposed adjacent to the one or more modules, and a slab positioned above the filtering apparatus.
1 . A fluid management system, comprising:
a first chamber;
a diffusion plate positioned in the first chamber configured to receive fluid and to direct the fluid along a bypass fluid flow path or a primary fluid flow path;
a riser pipe positioned within the first chamber that conveys fluid from the diffusion plate into a second chamber,
a filtering apparatus positioned in the second chamber comprising:
a plate having a first opening;
one or more modules coupled to the plate having one or more perforations and a second opening corresponding to the first opening; and
filter media disposed adjacent to the one or more modules; and
a slab positioned above the filtering apparatus.
2 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , wherein the slab includes a service hole, and the slab is positioned outside a pathway of fluid flowing from the first chamber to the second chamber.
3 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , wherein a first module of the one or more modules is configured to decouple from the plate.
4 . The fluid management system of claim 3 , wherein a second module different from the one or more modules is configured to couple to the plate in a position associated with the first module after a decoupling of the first module.
5 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , wherein the filtering apparatus includes a brace to mitigate bulging.
6 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , wherein the filtering apparatus comprises a fabric wrap disposed around at least a portion of the module.
7 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , wherein the filtering media comprises sand, perlite, activated alumina, or a combination thereof.
8 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , further comprising a separator membrane disposed below the plate.
9 . The fluid management system of claim 8 , further comprising the filter media disposed between the separator membrane and the plate.
10 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion plate comprises a surface having one or more perforations.
11 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , further comprising a bypass pipe configured to receive at least a portion of fluid and an outlet coupled to the bypass pipe.
12 . The fluid management system of claim 11 , further comprising a first outlet along the primary fluid flow path and a second outlet along the bypass fluid flow path.
13 . The fluid management system of claim 12 , wherein the at least a first portion of the fluid exits through the first outlet, and the at least a second portion of the fluid exits through the second outlet.
14 . The fluid management system of claim 1 , further comprising a third chamber, wherein fluid flows along the primary fluid flow path through an inlet between the second chamber and the third chamber.
15 . The fluid management system of claim 14 , further comprising one or more delivery pipes connected to the inlet and positioned along a base of the third chamber.
16 . The fluid management system of claim 15 , further comprising one or more riser pipes extending vertically in the chamber, the one or more riser pipes having a perforated section vertically displaced from the base of the chamber.
17 . The fluid management system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more riser pipes comprise a fabric wrap disposed around at least a portion of the one or more riser pipes.
18 . The fluid management system of claim 17 , further comprising filter media disposed between the base of the third chamber and the perforated section of the one or more riser pipes.
19 . The fluid management system of claim 8 , wherein the separator membrane comprises slotted openings to allow passage of the primary fluid flow.
20 . The fluid management system of claim 8 , wherein the separator membrane comprises peaks and valleys to form a corrugated surface.
