Vortex Flow Control System (Freeflush)

1. Sustainable Water Management Solutions Innovative systems for stormwater control, drainage optimization, and water reuse in contemporary civil engineering projects

2. Three Core Technologies Vortex Flow Control SuDS Planters Grey Water Systems Hydraulic regulation without mechanical components Nature-based stormwater treatment Circular water economy for buildings Each system addresses distinct challenges in water management, from peak flow attenuation to resource recovery and sustainable drainage.

3. Vortex Flow Control: Freeflush Technology Hydraulic Innovation Freeflush vortex flow control devices regulate stormwater discharge by creating a controlled vortex effect within the chamber. This passive hydraulic mechanism limits peak flow rates without any moving parts, mechanical components, or external power requirements. The vortex action creates a natural throttling effect that automatically adjusts to varying inlet flows, providing consistent outlet discharge rates.

4. Vortex Flow Control Applications 01 02 Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) Urban Drainage Networks Integration with detention basins and permeable pavements for flow attenuation Peak flow management to prevent downstream flooding and reduce infrastructure stress 03 Retrofit Applications Upgrading existing systems without extensive excavation or mechanical installations

5. SuDS Planters: Green Infrastructure Integration SuDS planters represent the convergence of landscape architecture and hydraulic engineering. These sustainable drainage features combine aesthetic landscaping with functional stormwater management, creating multi-benefit urban spaces. Capture Intercepts surface runoff at source Filter Removes pollutants through soil media Release Controlled discharge via drainage layers

6. Multi-Benefit Performance of SuDS Planters Water Quality Enhancement Biological and physical filtration removes suspended solids, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons before discharge Runoff Volume Reduction Evapotranspiration and infiltration significantly decrease peak flows and total discharge volumes Biodiversity Support Native planting schemes create habitat corridors and support pollinator populations in urban settings Urban Amenity Value Enhances streetscapes, provides cooling effects, and improves air quality while managing water

7. Grey Water Recycling: Circular Water Economy Grey water recycling systems capture lightly contaminated wastewater from sinks, showers, and baths, then treat and redistribute it for non-potable applications. This closed-loop approach transforms water from a single-use commodity into a renewable building resource.

8. System Components and Performance Storage and Distribution Treatment Process Treated water stored in dedicated tanks, pumped to toilet cisterns and irrigation systems Collection Network Multi-stage filtration, biological treatment, and disinfection ensure water meets reuse standards Dedicated piping separates grey water from blackwater sources, directing flows to treatment modules Water Savings Cost Reduction Sustainability Impact Reduces potable water consumption by 30-50% in typical buildings Decreases utility bills and wastewater treatment charges significantly Supports green building certifications and climate resilience goals

9. Integrated Approach to Water Resilience 0 50% 90% Moving Parts Water Savings Pollutant Removal In vortex flow control systems—maximizing reliability Potential reduction in potable water use with grey water recycling Achieved by properly designed SuDS planter bioretention systems These complementary technologies form a comprehensive strategy for sustainable water management. Vortex flow control protects infrastructure, SuDS planters enhance water quality and urban ecology, while grey water systems maximize resource efficiency. Together, they create resilient, low-maintenance solutions for modern development challenges.
