HydroStyx® Discharge Brake

The HydroStyx® Discharge Brake is a vortex-based energy dissipation system designed to reduce high discharge velocities in stormwater and wastewater networks. Its unique geometry ensures turbulence control and gentle outflow into natural water bodies or downstream infrastructure, preventing erosion and structural damage.

Vortex-induced flow braking

Low-maintenance, passive design

Ideal for steep gradients & high velocity

Flow Range:

Up to 600 l/s

Material:

Stainless steel construction

Installation:

Inline or end-of-pipe

Connection Size:

DN 100–DN 600

Operating Principle:

Vortex flow dissipation

Stormwater outfall protection

Energy dissipation at pipe exits

Erosion control in steep drainage systems

Overflow calming in detention systems

Suitable for stormwater, rainwater runoff, and combined wastewater discharges.

Reduces exit velocity by up to 90%

Eliminates need for concrete stilling basins

Prevents scouring of natural surfaces and banks

Integrated flow measurement

Tailor-made outlet transitions

Anti-vortex plate for ultra-sensitive zones

Documentation

Complete In-House Manufacturing Control

From forging and casting to machining, assembly, and testing — every step is managed under one roof to ensure consistent quality, faster lead times, and zero compromise.
