Raterra is only available in New Jersey
Rapterra is an engineered biofiltration system certified to remove 80% of total suspended solids at flow rates up to 941 inches per hour—the highest treatment flow rate of any New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Certified Green Infrastructure MTD.
These high flow rates help engineers minimize treatment footprint, enabling compact designs at decentralized inlet structures. With a shallow profile that integrates into most sites, Rapterra also supports a range of plant types to align with site aesthetics. The result is a high-performance, NJDEP-Certified bioretention solution that fits tight sites, and supports attractive landscape integration.
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| NJDEP approved flow rate up to 942"/hr. | Minimize footprint and cost |
|
Compact Design |
Optimizes treatment at decentralized inlet structures |
| Multiple configurations and aesthetic options |
Integrates easily into any site or landscape plan |
| Delivered as a complete package with all system components | Quality control for easy, fast and successful installation |
Rapterra is approved through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ DEP) as a Certified Green Infrastructure MTD.
With proper routine maintenance, the engineered media within the Rapterra system should last as long as traditional bioretention media installed in a similar configuration.
Maintenance is low-cost, low-tech and simple:
The most economical and simplest Rapterra configuration. It uses a downstream catch basin or curb inlet for bypass flows, allowing the shallowest profile and the most flexible design of any Rapterra configuration. It is ideal for both new and retrofit projects.
Provides internal bypass through a grated overflow, eliminating the need for an additional structure.
Provides treatment and high-flow bypass in one structure, eliminating the need for an external bypass structure, and includes an inlet bay for debris collection outside of the biofiltration chamber. This configuration also supports multiple inlet options, including curb, pipe, and grate inlets.
Allows for a vault-based system to be fully integrated into the landscape. Multiple inlet options are available via the side slopes, including sheet flow. Bypass is typically achieved via an upstream structure or with internal stand pipe.
Utilizes all of the Rapterra components, but without the concrete structure, allowing for multiple inlets and installation directly into a basin. Bypass is achieved via an upstream structure or with internal stand pipe.
