Hydrodynamic separator with alternating baffles

Abstract

The disclosed embodiments include a separator configured to remove particulate matter and pollutants from a flow of water. The separator may comprise a tubular body comprising an inlet chamber and a sump chamber separated by an upper cone. The inlet chamber may comprise a vertical riser comprising an inlet port configured to direct the flow of water from the inlet chamber to the sump chamber. The sump chamber may comprise a plurality of upward baffles, wherein each of the plurality of upward baffles extend outwardly from a vertical cylinder section, a plurality of downward baffles, wherein each of the plurality of downward baffles extend outwardly from the vertical cylinder section. The plurality of upward baffles and the plurality of downward baffles may be connected vertically in an alternating pattern to form a vertical cylinder configured to connect to the vertical riser.
