JellyF
ish® filter
The JellyFish® filter is a tertiary stormwater treatment system featuring membrane
filtration to provide exceptional pollutant removal at high treatment flow rates with
minimal head loss and low maintenance costs.
JellyFish® filter
The JellyFish® filter uses gravity, flow rotation, and
up-flow membrane filtration to provide tertiary
treatment to stormwater in an underground structure.
Using unique filtration cartridges, each JellyFish® filter
provides a large membrane surface area, resulting in high
flow rates and pollutant removal capacity.
The JellyFish® filter efficiently captures a high level of
stormwater pollutants, including:
• Total Suspended Solids (TSS), median removal
efficiency of 85%, including particles down to
two microns
• Total Nitrogen (TN), median removal efficiency of 51%
• Total Phosphorous (TP), median removal efficiency
of 59%
• Total Copper (Cu), median removal efficiency of 90%
• Total Zinc (Zn), median removal efficiency of 70%.
Designed as a polishing device for constrained sites, the
JellyFish® filter is available in a range of sizes to cater for
both at-source and end-of-pipe solutions.
• The system provides tertiary level performance with a
small footprint
The proven performance of the JellyFish® filter and
high flow rate membranes enables water quality
objectives to be met with a smaller footprint system
than typical bioretention systems.
• It has been independently researched and proven
The JellyFish® filter has been independently researched
under laboratory conditions in Australia and both
laboratory and field conditions in the United States.
In the United States, it has received verification under
the stringent New Jersey Corporation for Advanced
Technology (NJCAT) protocol.
• It treats higher flow rates than most filters
Each filter cartridge has an effective filter area of
35.4 m
2
designed to treat 5 litres per second (L/s)
through operational filters.
• Above-ground land use is maintained
The system is assembled within a fully-trafficable,
precast concrete structure for underground
installations on constrained sites, allowing maximum
use for above-ground activities.
• Maintenance is easy
The filter backwashes after peak flows so it can
self-clean several times in each storm event. Manual
backwash is recommended annually. When cartridge
replacement is required (usually every three years), it is
a safe and simple process.
