The High-Capacity Kraken® Filter is a state-of-the-art system utilizing advanced membrane filtration, ensuring a high-level of removal for not only TSS, but also metals, trash, and nutrients.
At the heart of the Kraken are the filter inserts. A 30” tall filter has over 170 sq ft of surface area, allowing it to treat 17 gpm at a loading rate of only 0.1 gpm/sf.
Available in vault and manhole configurations, the Kraken filter inserts are lightweight, and reusable, providing maximum performance and minimum maintenance.

The Stormwater Management StormFilter, Jellyfish Filter, and the High Capacity Kraken Filter can be easily configured as decentralized pretreatment systems for Low Impact Development Designs.
The Stormwater Management StormFilter, Jellyfish Filter, and the Kraken Filter provide the highest level of treatment and meet the most stringent regulatory requirements. These low maintenance systems combine pretreatment and filtration, and are able to target site-specific pollutants to meet your water quality goals. Our field-proven products have earned hundreds of standalone BMP approvals from regulatory agencies nationwide.
Media filtration systems - like our StormFilter, Jellyfish Filter, and Kraken Filter are able to remove the most challenging pollutants from stormwater, including total phosphorus, soluble metals, oil, and very fine particles. Available in a variety of configurations (vault, manhole, catch basin, high flow and volume), these systems can be engineered to treat a wide range of flows within your drainage system and capture pollutants prior to discharge off-site.
Designing, manufacturing and installing high-volume stormwater detention and treatment systems requires expert engineering, planning, and logistical support to manage costs and keep the project on schedule and under budget. When you need a proven, large scale stormwater management system, “Go Big” with Contech.
