Sedimentation Chamber
Decentralised, efficient, sustainable removal of settling, suspended and floating matter from rain water
The Funke Sedimentation Chamber is manufactured monolithically from a Funke DN 1000 profile pipe. The chamber’s main components include a tangential inlet, a vertical spiral lamella structure, a flow separator, as well as a baffle placed over the outlet.
Using the Funke Sedimentation Chamber, the majority of the filterable substances (FAS) contained in storm water runoff flows can be retained. The chamber’s efficiency is unaffected by the size of the catchment area; at A = 3,000 m², for example, it is approx. 70%. After the storm water runoff has passed through the sedimentation chamber, it can be drained into surface water bodies (rivers, lakes etc.; in accordance with the German DWA-A 102 guideline).
Catchment area up to 3,000 m²
The Funke Sedimentation Chamber is suitable for a catchment area of up to 3,000 m². Including its cover slab, the system has a total height of 3.2 m. The height offset between inlet and outlet is approx. 0.8 m; the outlet depth is at approx. 1.5 m. Very little maintenance is needed for the sedimentation chamber: Typically the sludge trap needs to be emptied once per year.
The advantages in practice:
- Minimal space requirements
- Excellent treatment performance (efficiency approx. 70%)
- Catchment area up to 3,000 m²
- Low-maintenance
