What Is an Inlet Filter Bag, and Why Does It Matter?
An inlet filter bag serves as a critical safeguard, preventing debris and sediment from infiltrating storm drains—essential for protecting waterways and maintaining optimal stormwater flow. Traditional inlet filter bags often fall short, struggling to achieve the necessary balance between effective sediment retention and maintaining water flow, leading to inefficiencies and increased maintenance costs. The FryeFlow Inlet Filter Bag overcomes these limitations with its advanced, thoughtfully engineered design, providing contractors and developers with a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution tailored to the demands of modern construction and infrastructure projects.
Key Features of the FryeFlow Inlet Filter Bag
The FryeFlow Inlet Filter Bag’s patented frame + basket design delivers unmatched performance in sediment control. Here’s how it excels:
- Superior Sediment Capture: The high-flow geotextile basket is engineered to trap sediment and debris effectively while maintaining optimal water flow rates. This minimizes hydraulic resistance and prevents site drainage issues.
- Optimized Water Flow: Unlike over-grate systems prone to clogging, FryeFlow’s under-grate configuration allows water to move freely through the grate and basket, reducing the risk of silt accumulation in storm drains.
- Damage-Resistant Design: The under-grate installation protects the filter from damage caused by street sweepers, snowplows, and construction equipment, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Durability and Cost Efficiency for Long-Term Use
Durability and ease of maintenance make the FryeFlow Inlet Filter Bag a standout in the inlet protection market. The reusable geotextile bag can be easily cleaned and monitored after each storm event, extending their lifespan and reducing the need for frequent replacements. Additionally, FryeFlow’s robust materials withstand the demands of overhead traffic and extreme weather conditions, providing reliable protection over time.
Introducing FryeFlow CBX: Enhanced Curb Box Protection
For projects requiring extended protection, MKB Company offers the FryeFlow CBX (Curb Box Extension). This advanced feature meets specifications for framed inlet protection and is available in pre-assembled welded units or assembly kits for easy deployment. Benefits of FryeFlow CBX include:
- Extended Reach and Coverage: Designed to reach back into the curb box for enhanced sediment capture and protection.
- Triple Flow Rates and Filtration Efficiency: Engineered to handle high water volumes while ensuring superior debris and sediment retention.
- Robust Construction: Woven geotextile and a durable steel frame deliver unmatched strength and reliability in demanding conditions.
- Reduced Street Ponding: Effectively minimizes ponding and flooding, keeping streets safer and more navigable.
Regulatory Compliance Made Simple
With stricter stormwater management regulations, the right inlet filter bag is more critical than ever. FryeFlow Inlet Filter Bags help contractors and developers achieve compliance while supporting environmental stewardship through:
- Reduced Sediment Loading: Dramatically lowers sediment flow into downstream waterways, protecting aquatic ecosystems and reducing potential restoration costs.
- Compliance and Operational Integrity: Ensures adherence to regulatory standards, minimizing the risk of project delays, non-compliance citations, and associated financial penalties, all while keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
Choosing the Best Inlet Filter Bag: What to Look For
Environmental control professionals evaluate inlet filter bags based on several key criteria, all of which FryeFlow exceeds:
- Sediment Capture Efficiency: Demonstrated capability to retain a wide range of sediment sizes effectively.
- Hydraulic Performance: Maintains high flow-through rates to prevent site flooding and water pooling.
- Maintenance and Longevity: A cost-effective solution with reusable components and minimal downtime for maintenance.
Upgrade Your Sediment Control and Stormwater Management Strategy
