Bacteria
Water contaminated with bacteria can cause a variety of unwanted challenges for wildlife and local communities. The consequences of bacteria such as enterococcus, Escherichia coli and fecal coliform can be very harmful. To help prevent and mediate the consequences of bacteria contaminated water, AbTech Industries has created Smart Sponge Plus.
Smart Sponge Plus technology specifically targets bacteria, and is available in Smart Drums™, Vaults, End-of-Pipe, engineered vessels and custom processing units to help meet your water cleanup and treatment needs.

Why Smart Sponge PLUS Technology is Ideal in Bacterial Water Applications

Oleophilic
Chemically selective towards hydrocarbons
Hydrophobic
Will not absorb water
Total Absorption
Absorbs up to 3 times its weight in hydrocarbons
Specialized
Organosilane derivative used to reduce coliform bacteria
High Flow Rate
Able to pass 80 GPM/ft3
High Porosity
Contaminant molecules diffuse and absorb into the voids until the matrix is saturated

Bacteria Products
AbTech Ultra-Urban® Filter
(Drain Insert and Curb Openings)
The Ultra-Urban Filter is an innovative low-cost BMP that helps meet NPDES requirements with effective filtration, efficient application, simple installation, and low maintenance. It is capable of removing hydrocarbons from water, as well as capturing trash, debris, and sediment.
AbTech Smart Pak® Media
The Smart Pak is designed for use in new or existing stormwater vaults that experience hydrocarbon, heavy metal pollution accompanied by sediment, debris, or bacteria. Smart Paks help meet or exceed stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements with effective filtration, absorption, life expectancy, and maintenance costs.







AbTech Smart Vault™
The Smart Vault is a comprehensive and cost effective solution for treating stormwater runoff. The vault utilizes AbTech's patented Smart Sponge filtration media to remove contaminants and can be retrofitted into existing collection systems included in new construction or redevelopment projects.
