PFAS
Smart Sponge® Quanta™
A filtration media developed for PFAS treatment. Selection starts with the compounds present, water chemistry and project treatment targets.
Filtration media
Smart Sponge® filtration media: the right media for your water.
Explore the Smart Sponge® family. Each media has a role—from hydrocarbon capture to targeted treatment of PFAS, metals, nutrients and bacteria.
The media family
Different water. Different media.
Hydrocarbons & oil
Smart Sponge®
Hydrophobic, oil-attracting media for capturing hydrocarbons in runoff, industrial water and marine applications. Available in several deployment formats.
Heavy metals & phosphorus
Smart Sponge® HM
Media selected for dissolved-metal and phosphorus treatment. Water chemistry and the target contaminant determine the appropriate configuration.
Bacteria
Smart Sponge® Plus
An antimicrobial media option for bacteria treatment in stormwater applications. Match the product and its application to the treatment requirements.
Dissolved organics
Smart Sponge® AC
A media option for dissolved hydrocarbons and organic compounds. Discuss the water profile and treatment objective with Abtech before specifying the media.
Filtration media
The water picks the media. The site picks the format.
Each media in the family targets something different. Start with what is in the water, then see how it is deployed.
Test Before You Deploy
Prove performance using your water.
Every site's water is different. Before recommending a full-scale solution, Abtech can review your water-quality data and conduct laboratory column testing using your actual water sample. Our team can evaluate:
For larger applications, Abtech can also support pilot testing to validate performance under real-world operating conditions before full-scale deployment.
Ask About Testing & Pilot ProgramsStart with the water you need to treat.
Media and equipment work together. A water sample and a clear treatment objective help determine which combination fits the site.
- Identify target contaminants and their measured concentrations.
- Share typical and peak flow, existing drainage details and available space.
- Describe the required effluent quality and how performance will be monitored.
- Plan access for inspection, media replacement and handling of spent material.
Choose the media. Then choose how it fits.
Media is the treatment material. An insert, modular pack, skimmer or vault holds that material in the water's path. Abtech evaluates the site's water and infrastructure together, so the treatment approach fits both the contaminants and the installation.
