Smart Sponge® Technology
• Smart Sponge is an innovative filter media that:– Removes or eliminates contaminants such as hydrocarbons and
bacteria at the street level on contact with limited or no infrastructure– Is deployed in specific quantities based on engineering calculation– Provides solutions that can help reduce beach closures– Utilizes non-invasive technology that requires no electricity or moving
parts and is recyclable.– Fully encapsulates recovered oil, preventing it from leaching or leaking
back into the environment

Smart Sponge® Technolo gy
• COMBINES TWO SETS OF PROPERTIES• Physical/Mechanical
• Media is porous, resilient and elastic
• Combines chemical absorbent properties
with excellent hydraulics
• Chemical• Chemically selective
• Water repellent
• Hydrophobic
• Oleophilic
• Absorption vs. Adsorption
• Antimicrobial (biostatic)
MAKERS OF
PRODUCTS
ABSORPTION vs. ADSORPTION
• Absorption--Contaminant is trapped within the structure •Adsorption—Contaminant is trapped on the surface of the structure

Westchester County, NY
• Shortly after initial installation of 35 filters in 2004 a fuel spill occurred and the Smart Sponge successfully captured the contamination before it entered the stormwater pipes.
• This early capture prevented a costly cleanup and led to an airport wide implementation the following year.
