Stormwaterworks' TerreKleen hydrodynamic separator traps sediment, debris, trash and acts and an oil/water separator.

Stamford, Connecticut – On Friday, Nov. 6, Stormwaterworks installed its first Hydrodynamic separator in Connecticut at Stamford’s Harbor Point Development Project. TerreKleen is a unit that relies in part on 80-year-old technology adapted from the potable water system arena.

“The reason that this installation is so exciting” said Stormwaterworks owner Nanda  Zimmerman, “is that the TerreKleen unit is a water quality treatment vault which will capture sediment, trash/debris and oil preventing this pollution from  reaching The Sound. Containing this pollution will have a positive impact on the water quality in our harbor and Long Island Sound.

Additionally, the TerreKleen is highly efficient at capturing and containing pollutants in a smaller footprint. This efficiency allows building contractors to install these systems in projects where space is at a premium. This ultimately makes stormwater treatment more accessible, further cleaning up our local waters.  Cleaning Long Island Sound and keeping it that way is so important to the quality and way of life in Connecticut, as well as the rest of the Eastern Seaboard.

Stormwaterworks.com LLC is a Stamford-based woman-owned company whose mission is to help businesses and municipalities manage and improve stormwater runoff. By cleaning stormwater runoff, Stormwaterworks is able to improve the quality of water entering U.S. receiving waters: lakes, rivers, streams and Long Island Sound.
