The present invention supplies partitioned water treatment systems that possess a plurality of chambers and vertical filtration units, and are operative to control and filter surface runoff water. Such systems are typically placed inline with surface runoff water conveyance system infrastructure, such as pipes, channels, and water storage units.

A round meander septic tank includes an elongate baffle that divides the interior space of the tank into two semicircular chambers. Untreated wastewater is introduced to the first chamber through an inlet located near the first end of the baffle. The wastewater flows through the first chamber to a portal at the second end of the baffle and passes through the portal into the second chamber. A wastewater outlet from the tank is located in the second chamber near the first end of the baffle. Wastewater passing through the portal flows through the second chamber to the outlet and out of the tank. The baffle and the shape of the septic tank increase the distance that the wastewater must flow from the inlet to the outlet as compared to a rectangular meander tank with a single baffle.

A stormwater drain baffle to be disposed in a flow-through stormwater sump or chamber for baffling a stormwater flow-path. The baffle has a plurality of openings distributed over the area of the baffle. The baffle comprises at least two baffle portions connected to each other. The baffle portions are disposed near to and in superposed relation to each other, so that the baffle portions overlap each other and are adjustably connected to each other for adjusting the width (W.sub.tot) of the baffle. At least the outermost baffle portions of the baffle comprise fixing members which are monolithic with the baffle portion and adapted for fixing the baffle to the vertical inner wall of the sump or the chamber.

A method of manufacturing a solvent extraction settler comprises manufacturing at the site of manufacture, such as in an engineering workshop, a plurality of self-supporting settler element modules (2, 3, 4, 5) each having exterior dimensions, strength and handling and securing means (6) conforming to shipping container standards, transporting the modules (2, 3, 4, 5) to the site of installation as normal freight by transport equipment, such as trucks, trailers and container ships, capable of handling and transporting shipping container standard compatible units, and assembling the modules (2, 3, 4, 5) into a complete settler at the site of installation. The settler comprises a module group (1) consisting of a plurality of self-supporting settler element modules (2, 3, 4, 5) each having exterior dimensions, strength and handling and securing means (6) conforming to ISO shipping container standards to enable ISO compatible transportability.

Vaults, boxes, systems, and methods of treatment systems to capture pollutants from storm water runoff and prevent the conveyance of these pollutants from entering a receiving water body or landscape area, which is designed to be a part of a local permanent storm water drainage infrastructure. A single treatment box, vault and system combines both drainage conveyance, multi-level treatment techniques, variable hydraulic capabilities, and easy and inexpensive methods for servicing the system. A flow spreader can split incoming water to pass into dual screen filtration systems. The system can include components selected from a shelf beneath the spreader, at least one baffle, skimmer, deflectors, media filtration and water pressure lines with spray heads for cleaning debris on a sloped floor.
