Imbrium Systems and Rinker Materials Team up on New Filtration and Phosphorus Removal Products to Protect Massachusetts Watersheds

TORONTO, July 16 /PRNewswire/ - Imbrium Systems announced today that it signed a formal agreement to have Rinker Materials market its Jellyfish filtration system for fine sediment and SorbtiveFILTER for total phosphorus removal. Rinker Materials has long been the Stormceptor(R) licensee in the United States, with over 5,000 installations throughout New England and over 30,000 installations world wide.

This Jellyfish breakthrough stormwater membrane filtration technology, which is known for its unique high surface area filtration tentacles and its small footprint, is currently operating with great success at a variety of commercial development and redevelopment sites throughout North America.

Since introducing Jellyfish into the marketplace, the membrane filtration system has seen a meteoric rise in popularity among environmentalists, civil engineers, environmental engineers and commercial developers who are committed to protecting the environment.

"The Jellyfish filtration system is the industry leader in capturing fine sediment, and the critical pollutants such as nutrients which inherently attach to fine sediment particles." says Scott Perry, Imbrium System's Group Manager. "The Jellyfish membrane technology, light-weight cartridges, easy maintenance and small footprint means lower overall costs for any project - which is exactly what private developers and municipalities want."

"Rinker Materials is pleased to represent Imbrium Systems' new products - Jellyfish and SorbtiveFILTER - and continue the tremendous success we've achieved with the Stormceptor brand", said Jim Lyons, Rinker Materials Regional Sales Manager. "We believe these innovative stormwater treatment technologies are the practical solutions that site developers, civil engineers, municipalities and architects are clamoring for", added Lyons from Rinker Materials Westfield, Massachusetts plant.

"The SorbtiveFILTER is an industry leading, field-tested solution that phosphorus-impaired watersheds need. Phosphorus-impaired, TMDL communities along the Charles River, like Milford, Franklin and Bellingham, now have a realistic, science-based solution that offers maximum performance to help restore the Charles River", stated Scott Perry, Imbrium Systems' Group Manager.

"SorbtiveFILTER is a stormwater filtration system which uses SorbtiveMEDIA that removes high levels of dissolved phosphorus, resulting in the capture of nearly 80% of Total Phosphorus. Because of its flexible nature and ability to capture high volumes of phosphorus, SorbtiveMEDIA can be utilized in Low Impact Development (LID) applications like bioretention cells, rain gardens and bio swales. SorbtiveMEDIA has been demonstrated as the best field tested filtration media for phosphorus removal applicable to all structural and land-based BMPs and we look forward to serving the New England environmental engineering community." added Perry.
