Smart Solutions for Advanced Water Filtration
Abtech Industries has redefined water filtration with cutting-edge media that outperform traditional granular activated carbon (GAC) and resin-based solutions, targeting the most persistent and complex water contaminants.
Heavy Metals
Eliminates lead, mercury, arsenic, and more with precision-engineered filtration media.
Phosphorus
Reduces nutrient concentrations, reducing harmful algae blooms and protecting waterways.
PFAS
Effectively captures and removes per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.
Bacteria
Treats harmful coliform and other bacterial threats for safer, cleaner water.
Smart Sponge® vs. Traditional Filtration Media
Not all filtration media are created equal. AbTech’s Smart Sponge® technology outperforms traditional solutions like granular activated carbon (GAC) and resin by delivering faster, more efficient, and longer-lasting contaminant removal.
Explore the comparison below to see how Smart Sponge® sets a new industry standard for PFAS, heavy metals, phosphorus, and bacteria filtration—reducing costs, improving efficiency, and simplifying operations.
Comparison Criteria | Smart Sponge | GAC & Resin |
|---|---|---|
Flow Rate (GPM/SF) | High (Up to 40 GPM/SF) - 4x faster throughput | Low (5-12 GPM/SF) - Slower treatment times |
Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT) | Short (As low as 45 seconds) - Rapid treatment efficiency | Long (6-12 minutes) - Requires more bed depth or more consecutive treatment vessels. |
Back Pressure | Low (<1 PSI) - Reduces system stress & improves efficiency | High - Increased operational strain & energy costs |
Backwashing Frequency | Minimal backwashing needed - Extends operational cycles | Frequent backwashing required - Leads to higher operational costs |
Moisture Content (Disposal Costs) | 1% moisture retention - Significantly lower disposal costs | 30-70% moisture retention - High disposal weight & cost |
