About AbTech Pacific
AbTech Pacific is the premier west coast distributor of highly effective and adaptable, customized storm water solutions that control and remove the oil, grease, bacteria, sediment and trash and debris that are threatening the quality of California’s water sources.
Manufactured by AbTech Industries, Inc., an Arizona based company, AbTech’s products incorporate a polymer-based filtration material, the Smart Sponge®, a technology that effectively removes pollutants from flowing or pooled water, encapsulating them so that they cannot be released back into the environment even under high pressure. In addition, AbTech is the first company to combine an antimicrobial agent in its filtration material and to provide a solution that effectively destroys bacteria at the street level before they can enter waterways or foul beaches.
The Environmental Protection Agency has included AbTech’s Ultra-Urban® Filter series with Smart Sponge technology as a Best Management Practice (BMP) under the federal environmental guidelines that apply to local and state governments.
