VORTEX FLOW - A SIMPLE SOLUTION
FOR ODOR
AND CORROSION CONTROL
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas and other odorous gases are a fact of
life with sanitary sewer drop structures. When these gases
become airborne, they not only generate complaints from the
neighborhood, but also impact air quality and cause corrosion
within the sewer system.
Municipalities spend millions on various forms of odor and
corrosion control. Yet many of these methods are only partially
successful and require considerable maintenance and chemicals.

sent to a Vortex Application Engineer and you will hear back
from someone as soon as possible. If you would rather print the

A new solution for municipalities is the IPEX Vortex Flow Insert
(VFI), a revolutionary technology for eliminating odorous
emissions and minimizing corrosion in vertical sewer drops. With
no moving parts and requiring no maintenance, VFIs have
delivered significant cost savings in installations across North
America.
The VFI’s patented spiral flow design eliminates odorous and
corrosive gases in a unique way. It uses the wastewater’s own
flow energy to suppress the turbulence which releases noxious
gases.
The spiral flow creates a downdraft which traps airborne gases
and forces air into the sewage flow to oxidize odorous gases. By
installing a Vortex drop structure, municipalities can save
thousands of dollars in monthly chemical feed, air-phase
treatment and maintenance costs.
Applications
- Manholes, Chambers and Forcemains
- Pumping Station Wet Wells
- Steep Grade Sewers
- Turbine Discharges

in the top form sucking surface fog into the structure while in operation (you can see the faint outline of the top of the
Vortex Unit).
