PART 2 – PRODUCTS
2.01 MATERIALS
A. Modular Wetland System Linear 2.0 (MWS-L 2.0) is an advanced dual-stage high flow rate media
and bio-filtration system for the treatment of urban stormwater runoff. Superior pollutant removal
efficiencies are achieved by treating runoff through a pre-treatment chamber containing a
screening device for trash and larger debris, a separation chamber for larger TSS and a series of
media filter cartridges for removal of fine TSS and other particulate pollutants.
Pre-treated runoff is transferred to the bio-filtration chamber which contains an engineered ion
exchange media designed to support an abundant plant and microbe community that captures,
absorbs, transforms and uptakes pollutants through an array of physical, chemical, and biological
mechanisms.
MWS-L 2.0 is a self-contained treatment train that is supplied to the job site completely assembled
and ready for use. Once installed, stormwater runoff drains directly from impervious surfaces
through a built-in curb inlet, drop in, or via pipe from upstream inlets or downspouts.
Treated runoff is discharged from the system through an orifice control riser to assure the proper
amount of flow is treated.
The treated water leaving the system is connected to the storm drain system, infiltration basins, or
to be re-used on site for irrigation or other uses.
The Modular Wetland System Linear represents a pioneering breakthrough in stormwater
technology as the only bio-filtration system to utilize patented horizontal flow, allowing for a
smaller footprint and higher treatment capacity.
While most bio-filters use little or no pre-treatment, the MWS Linear incorporates an advanced
pre-treatment chamber that includes separation and pre-filter cartridges.
In this chamber sediment and hydrocarbons are removed from runoff before it enters the bio-
filtration chamber, in turn reducing maintenance costs and improving performance.
PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.01 INSTALLATION
A. The MWS Linear is simple, easy to install, and has a space efficient design that offers lower
excavation and installation costs compared to traditional tree-box type systems. The structure of
