The Isolator® Row Plus
Introduction
An important component of any Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
is inspection and maintenance. The StormTech Isolator Row Plus is a
technique to inexpensively enhance Total Suspended Solids (TSS),
Total Phosphorus (TP), Total Petroluem Hydrocarbons (TPH) and
Total Nitrogen (TN) removal with easy access for inspection and
maintenance.

The Isolator Row Plus
The Isolator Row Plus is a row of StormTech chambers, either SC-160, SC-
310, DC-780, SC-800, MC-3500, MC-4500 or MC-7200 models, are lined with
filter fabric and connected to a closely located manhole for easy access.
  Looking down the Isolator Row
The fabric lined chambers provide for sediment settling and filtration as

out of the chambers. Sediments are captured in the Isolator Row Plus
protecting the adjacent stone and chambers storage areas from sediment
accumulation.
ADS Isolator Row and Plus fabric are placed between the stone and the
Isolator Row Plus chambers. The woven geotextile provides a media for
stormwater filtration, a durable surface for maintenance, prevents scour
of the underlying stone and remains intact during high pressure jetting.
The Isolator Row Plus is designed to capture the “first flush” runoff and
offers the versatility to be sized on a volume basis or a flow-rate basis. An
upstream manhole provides access to the Isolator Row Plus and includes
a high/low concept such that stormwater flow rates or volumes that
exceed the capacity of the Isolator Row Plus bypass through a manifold to
the other chambers. This is achieved with an elevated bypass manifold or
a high-flow weir. This creates a differential between the Isolator Row Plus
row of chambers and the manifold to the rest of the system, thus allowing
for settlement time in the Isolator Row Plus. After Stormwater flows

it is either exfiltrated into the soils below or passed at a controlled rate  with Overflow Structure
through an outlet manifold and outlet control structure.  (not to scale)
The Isolator Row Plus FlampTM is a flared end ramp apparatus attached to
the inlet pipe on the inside of the chamber end cap. The FLAMP provides
a smooth transition from pipe invert to fabric bottom. It is configured
to improve chamber function performance by enhancing outflow of
solid debris that would otherwise collect at the chamber's end, or more
difficult to remove and require confined space entry into the chamber
area. It also serves to improve the fluid and solid flow into the access pipe
during maintenance and cleaning and to guide cleaning and inspection
equipment back into the inlet pipe when complete.
The Isolator Row Plus may be part of a treatment train system. The
treatment train design and pretreatment device selection by the
design engineer is often driven by regulatory requirements. Whether
pretreatment is used or not, StormTech recommend using the Isolator
Row Plus to minimize maintenance requirements and maintenance costs.
Note: See the StormTech Design Manual for detailed information on designing
inlets for a StormTech system, including the Isolator Row Plus.
