Imbrium Unveils Sizing Tool for Stormceptor

Imbrium Systems, creator of the Stormceptor, announced the release of PCSWMM, an accurate, easy-to-use sizing tool for Stormceptor.

“Continuous simulation modeling is the future for storm water quality management,” said Rob Crossman, Imbrium’s U.S. country manager. “This modeling software makes the sizing of Stormceptors a straightforward and streamlined process, so much so, the stormwater industry will quickly learn how effectively water quality objectives can be achieved with this approach.”

Based on the U.S. EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), a comprehensive computer model used for analyzing urban storm water runoff, PCSWMM for Stormceptor takes this respected simulation model further, using individual site conditions and extensive historical rainfall to determine the best storm water quality system for the site.

“It’s extremely user-friendly, enabling users to see what specific site parameters are applied in unit sizing. We’ve merged cutting-edge technology with established U.S. EPA scientific methodology to ensure every unit is sized to improve long-term water quality results,” Crossman said.

Program features include recent and historical data from 1,900 weather stations across North America, ease of use in the home or office, and useful report generation for clients and regulators.

“How well a storm water treatment system is sized is as important as how it performs,” Crossman said. “If precise rainfall patterns, pollutant levels and other factors are not considered, you run the risk of using an inadequate treatment device that fails to meet your needs and protect our water resources. The precision of PCSWMM helps to significantly reduce this risk compared to other unreliable, out-dated practices out there.”

Regardless of the Stormceptor model selected, each unit is designed to capture and confine a wide range of particle sizes, and prevent stored contaminants from scouring, even during intense rainfall. Units can also be sized to treat a specific particle size distribution.

PCSWMM for Stormceptor was developed by Imbrium Systems in partnership with Computational Hydraulics International and Dr. Bill James, internationally acclaimed storm water expert. Visit www.stormceptor.com for a free copy of the program.
