Wastewater

Treat wastewater to a reuse standard — and lower lifecycle cost doing it.

Remove PFAS, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons with cartridges and engineered systems that run faster, backwash less, and cost less to operate than granular carbon or resin.

The Challenge

Compliance pressure meets rising operating cost

Plants must hit discharge and reuse standards for PFAS, dissolved metals, and hydrocarbons while controlling energy, disposal, and downtime costs. Granular activated carbon and resin are slow, high-maintenance, and expensive to dispose of.

PFAS
Smart Sponge® Quanta™ permanently removes forever chemicals.
Heavy metals
Up to 96% removal of arsenic, selenium, zinc, lead, and copper.
Hydrocarbons
Oil and organics encapsulated without clogging the bed.
Dissolved organics
Reduced to reuse-grade water quality.
The Solution

Cartridges and engineered systems built around your flow

Smart Sponge® cartridges and skid-mounted systems integrate into existing treatment trains. With flow up to 40 GPM/SF, empty-bed contact time as low as 45 seconds, and 1% moisture retention, you get smaller footprints and dramatically lower disposal weight.

Cartridges and engineered systems built around your flow
Lower lifecycle cost
1% moisture retention vs 30–70% for GAC.
Smaller footprint
45-second EBCT means less bed depth and fewer vessels.
Simplified operation
Minimal backwashing and under 1 PSI back pressure.
