Unlocking Cleaner Waterways: How Gross Pollutant Traps Combat Urban Pollution

The Eco BITE™ Gross Pollutant Trap (GPT) is revolutionary, multi-pollutant trap designed to effectively remove contaminants from fluid transport networks, thereby protecting downstream ecological systems. This innovative, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly product is essential for achieving best practices in environmental management, particularly in safeguarding Australian catchments against harmful water-borne pollutants. 

Acknowledging that the highest concentrations of stormwater pollution often occur during frequent low flows and first flush events, the Eco BITE™ GPT has been engineered to maximize pollutant retention in these critical periods. This ensures the protection of waterways and supports the sustainability of local ecosystems. 

Eco BITE™ GPT Advantages

  • Cost Efficient: Affordable solutions for effective pollutant removal.
  • Low Maintenance: Designed for ease of access and minimal upkeep.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Supports the preservation of natural habitats.
  • Protects Waterways: Shields Australian water systems from harmful contaminants. 

Eco BITE™ GPT Features

Proudly Australian-made, the Eco BITE™ GPT boasts an easy installation process with its single-chamber design. It is tailored to meet specific project needs, ensuring the maintenance of water quality for local and broader communities. Key features include:

  • Custom Design: Each GPT is individually designed to address specific project requirements, enhancing the effectiveness of the separation process.
  • Target Pollutants: Focused on capturing a wide range of contaminants.
  • Site-Specific Details: Incorporates site-specific hydraulic data, storage capacity, inlet/outlet configurations, and access for inspection and maintenance.
  • Optional Features: Customizable options such as isolation gates and removable baskets.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The Eco BITE™ GPT is designed for easy and efficient maintenance. Vacuum eduction trucks can be positioned adjacent to the trap, and access is provided via surface covers with circular openings. This design minimizes ongoing clean-out costs and eliminates the need for high-pressure jetting, simplifying the maintenance process.

Size & Capacity

Eco BITE™ GPTs are custom-made to suit project-specific needs, ensuring optimal stormwater management. Sizes, capacities, and designs vary to meet diverse requirements. Our experienced Smartstream Technology team offers comprehensive support to help you choose the best options for your project timeline and objectives.

With the Eco BITE™ Gross Pollutant Trap, you are investing in a robust solution to protect the environment and maintain water quality, ensuring sustainable management of stormwater systems across Australia.
