                                            6.0 Collection And Removal Efficiencies

                                            Stormwater treatment is best when distributed across the catchment treating
                                            stormwater pollutants as close as possible to their point of source. The Ecosol™
                                            Litter Basket provides a cost effective and efficient solution at point of source
                                            and has the highest treatable flow rate of any comparable system. In order to
                                            determine a meaningful characterisation of the Ecosol™ Litter Basket collection
                                            efficiency, an extensive verification phase was undertaken by Avocet Consulting
                                            Pty Ltd, Ecosol and EngTest (The University of Adelaide). To best summarise
                                            the capture efficiency results of extensive product testing a regression of the data
                                            points using a sigmoidal regression curve was selected as it provided a conservative
                                            fit to the wide scatter of data collected. Refer to figures 1 & 2 for testing results.
