American Peat Technology, LLC products

The toxin-filtering ability of peat and wetlands is well-documented, but until now, natural peat has not been a widely-accepted alternative for water treatment because of the short-comings of raw peat. APTsorb harnesses the affinity of natural peat for heavy metals, but transforms it into a hardened granule with favorable hydraulic conductivity. The media has the structural strength that is essential in water treatment processes and offers low-cost, robust treatment in challenging environments.

The stormwater that flows off roofs often carries a significant load of dissolved zinc and copper. The ongoing oxidation of galvanized roofing materials, roof-mounted HVAC systems and copper gutters can all contribute to elevated zinc and copper concentrations in runoff water. When your stormwater plan calls for treatment of roof runoff, the TurnAbout™ Upflow Downspout Filter™ (UDF) offers consistent, economical treatment in an attractive, user-friendly design.
