What is it?
Petro Barrier Systems Inc.’s range of storm drain protectors save your storm drain system from pollution and contamination of hydrocarbon oils and heavy metals. Like our other product lines, the filter media in our storm drain protectors filters out pollutants from your storm and waste water to concentrations under a maximum of less than 2 ppm, which is well below regulatory specifications. In the case of a major spill, our patented filter media will fully activate, creating a plug and stopping all contaminant flow down the drain, allowing proper clean up and preventing costly environmental damage. In addition to the full protection you receive, Petro Barrier Systems Inc.’s Storm Drain Protector shields your drains from loose debris and silt that can cause serious problems for Storm Drain System.

Our patent pending sensor system allows you to remotely monitor your drains via our web based platform anywhere, any time. There is no need to manually check your drains to or worry about a major spill. In the case of a major leak or spill, our monitoring system will notify you in minutes allowing for faster and less costly response.
