How the RPS™ works.

The RPS™ completely encloses either the mouth of a tributary that supplies the reservoir or the water intake. Acting as a filter, the RPS™ prevents microorganisms and stormwater particulates from migrating into the water source. At the mouth of the tributary, the RPS™ also slows water passage, promoting settlement of suspended solids.

| A highly effective filter. Using proprietary fabric technology, the RPS™ excludes suspended solids down to the 10 micron range or smaller. Comprised of treated polypropylene/polyester fabric, the patented, full-water depth RPS™ curtain is suspended by flotation billets and anchored in place. Depending on particulate concentrations, required flow rate and other parameters, higher levels of control may be achieved by using different fabrics, multiple layers, multiple booms and/or lower flow rates through the fabric. |
