Welcome to AbTech Industries

At AbTech Industries, we are dedicated to developing innovative clean water solutions to meet community and industrial needs. We develop Best Management Practice (BMP) equipment for nonpoint source pollution and storm water control, filters for storm drains and catch basins, and devices that capture oil from still or flowing water. Increasingly, commercial companies, industries and local municipalities have been using AbTech’s cost effective filtration systems at the entrance of their stormdrain-sewer systems, in vaults, filters and many other installations to remove hydrocarbons in stormwater runoff, to comply with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. AbTech’s patented Smart Sponge® technology has been installed in over 13,000 locations across the country and has been improved with Smart Sponge® Plus, an intra-filter antimicrobial that promotes and prolongs the effective and efficient functioning of the filter.

Smart Sponges are made of two polymers: SBS, an absorbent, and EPDM, which adds structure and elasticity. As storm water passes through, the polymers   trap and solidify pollutants.
