The efficiency of different typologies of catch basin treatment devices as an alternative to traditional structural solutions for storm water runoff management is investigated in this paper. The hydraulic performances of three different treatment devices and the pollutant removal efficiency of different filter media have been studied by the Department of Construction, Environmental and Territorial Engineering and the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering of the University of Genoa in the framework of the Demonstration project ESTRUS (Enhanced and Sustainable TReatment for Urban Storm water) co-financed by the European Union within the LIFE Environment Programme. Preliminary results of the laboratory tests are here presented.

Abstract
The efficiency of different typologies of catch basin treatment devices as an alternative to traditional structural solutions for storm water runoff management is investigated in this paper. The hydraulic performances of three different treatment devices and the pollutant removal efficiency of different filter media have been studied by the Department of Construction, Environmental and Territorial Engineering and the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering of the University of Genoa in the framework of the Demonstration project ESTRUS (Enhanced and Sustainable TReatment for Urban Storm water) co-financed by the European Union within the LIFE Environment Programme. Preliminary results of the laboratory tests are here presented.
