Products 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.

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
