MORE ABOUT STORMKLEAR
Stormwater runoff and dewatering from construction sites can have a significant negative impact on the quality of neighboring water sources. As stormwater flows over a construction site, it picks up sediment, debris, oil, chemicals, and other pollutants. Without mitigation, the water can run off the site into streams, lakes, storm drains, and sewer systems. Sediment, suspended soil particles, and pollutants in the runoff can reduce the amount of sunlight reaching aquatic plants, clog fish gills, smother aquatic habitat and spawning areas, and impede fish navigation. The polluted runoff can harm or kill fish and other wildlife and eventually makes its way into drinking water sources.
StormKlear products treat storm water runoff and dewatering from construction sites, ensuring clean, safe and healthy water sources while allowing contractors to meet local and state agency requirements, and remain productive throughout the year.
How does it work?
StormKlear products naturally reverse the process of water contamination through HaloSource’s patented Chitin-based technology. Chitosan and chitosan derivatives- refined forms of chitin – reduce turbidity, phosphorous, metals and grease in stormwater. In turbid water, it causes coagulations of sediment particles, which then allow for gravity settling, biofiltration, sand filtration, or cartridge filtration.
What is Chitosan?
Chitosan is a natural biopolymer of chitin, nature’s second most abundant polymer. Chitin is the structural material found in the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp, crabs, and lobsters and is also found in insect shells and fungi cell walls.
Why is Chitosan important?
Chitosan has the ability to flocculate suspended sediments in turbid water, allowing the sediments to settle out. The flocked sediment is nontoxic and biodegradable and can be dewatered more easily than synthetic polymer flocculants. Chitosan-based water treatment agents have been used in water clarification for decades in various industrial and municipal applications including drinking water purification, pond and lake clarification, and commercial aquarium clarification.
Why StormKlear’s Chitosan products are a “Green” solution.
HaloSource, the manufacturer of StormKlear brand products, recycled almost 900,000 lbs of crab, lobster and shrimp shells in 2007. Ordinarily, this waste would have been abandoned by processing companies and discarded into landfills. Not only does StormKlear use the recycled Chitosan in our products and keep it out of landfills, we use it to clean and protect the environment keeping our streams and water sources safe for generations to come.
STORMKLEAR GELFLOC
