Patent-Protected Hydraulic Technology

Passive hydraulic infrastructure technology.

SiphonTech developed the patented Siphon Float System through real-world civil engineering deployment and municipally permitted field applications.

Protected by U.S. Patent 11,209,025 B2
SiphonTech Installation

Field deployed in civil engineering applications and permitted through municipal review processes.

Developed from practical engineering experience.

SiphonTech was created to explore passive hydraulic approaches to stormwater management, controlled intake elevation, and environmental drainage applications.

Floating Intake

The system utilizes a floating intake assembly designed to withdraw water from a controlled elevation below the water surface.

Passive Operation

Hydraulic head and siphon action allow passive fluid movement without conventional electrical pumping equipment.

Field Tested

The technology was engineered into real civil projects and approved through state and local municipal review processes.

A simple passive siphon concept.

The floating intake follows the water surface while the siphon transfers water using available hydraulic head. This allows withdrawal from a controlled depth rather than a fixed bottom or outlet elevation.

Potential applications

The Siphon Float System may support a variety of stormwater, hydraulic, and environmental infrastructure applications.

Stormwater Systems

Retrofit drainage improvements, basin outlet management, and controlled surface withdrawal applications.

Environmental Protection

Managed infrastructure applications involving water quality and controlled drainage strategies.

Industrial Infrastructure

Potential applications involving managed runoff, containment systems, and passive fluid handling.

SiphonTech Pond

Real-world operational insight.

Field use identified both strengths and operational considerations associated with passive siphon systems.

In some conditions, dissolved gases and temperature fluctuations may require periodic inspection to ensure the siphon remains primed and operational.

This practical understanding helped identify the types of managed infrastructure environments where passive hydraulic systems may provide the greatest long-term value.

Protected intellectual property.

The Siphon Float System is protected through granted U.S. patent coverage and supported by real deployment history.
