System performance
The JellyFish® filter has been designed to provide tertiary
level treatment and should be combined with a Gross
Pollutant Trap (GPT) as part of a treatment train to ensure
optimal performance.
Treatment efficiency
Extensive research of the JellyFish® filter has proven its
performance under Australian laboratory and US field
conditions. Field testing in the United States has received
independent verification under the stringent New Jersey
Corporation for Advanced Technology (NJCAT) protocol.
The results are summarised in Table 1 below.

Inlet and outlet pipes
An above-deck inlet pipe configuration is standard
for the JellyFish® filter and an optional below-deck
inlet configuration is available on request. Specific site
constraints generally determine the configuration that
is most favourable. In both configurations, the invert
level of the outlet pipe is identical to the cartridge
deck elevation.
