 Portable sediment tanks are intended to settle only sands, loamy sands, and sandy loams.  If polymer is added, these tanks will additionally be appropriate for settling loams, silt loams and silts.  Portable sediment tanks should be at least three feet deep and have a minimum of two baffled compartments.  The inlet and outlet pipe should be a minimum diameter of three inches.  To account for the settling of suspended sediments, one must determine the appropriate size of a tank.  Multiply the pumping rate (gallon per minute) by 1.83 (a factor that includes the conversion from gpm to cfs and the particle settling velocity for Soil Class 1) to calculate the surface area of a tank in square feet. Portable sediment tanks are intended to settle only sands, loamy sands, and sandy loams.  If polymer is added, these tanks will additionally be appropriate for settling loams, silt loams and silts.  Portable sediment tanks should be at least three feet deep and have a minimum of two baffled compartments.  The inlet and outlet pipe should be a minimum diameter of three inches.  To account for the settling of suspended sediments, one must determine the appropriate size of a tank.  Multiply the pumping rate (gallon per minute) by 1.83 (a factor that includes the conversion from gpm to cfs and the particle settling velocity for Soil Class 1) to calculate the surface area of a tank in square feet.

 Passive filtration systems also rely on filtration as the main means of removing sediment.  The distribution of particle size in the stormwater influences sediment removal efficiency.  Manufactured filters should be sequenced from the largest to the smallest pore opening.  Available are sand media filters with automatic backwashing features that can filter to 50 μm particle size, screen or bag filters that can filter down to 5 μm, and fiber wound filters that can remove particles down 0.5 μm.  Passive filtration systems also rely on filtration as the main means of removing sediment.  The distribution of particle size in the stormwater influences sediment removal efficiency.  Manufactured filters should be sequenced from the largest to the smallest pore opening.  Available are sand media filters with automatic backwashing features that can filter to 50 μm particle size, screen or bag filters that can filter down to 5 μm, and fiber wound filters that can remove particles down 0.5 μm.
