The Only Solution For Removing Dissolved Phosphorus

SorbtiveMEDIA is an oxide-coated, high surface area reactive engineered media that sorbs and retains large phosphorus loads. SorbtiveMEDIA provides between 100 and 1,000 times more pollutant removal capability compared to conventional media; unlike other media, it does not desorb (leach) pollutants.

For critical watersheds, SorbtiveMEDIA can achieve low Total Phosphorus effluent concentrations (< 0.1 mg/L), providing a cost-effective means to ensure water quality objectives are met, even on projects with aggressive Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) targets.

SorbtiveMEDIA can be used to augment or retrofit existing proprietary and non-proprietary structural BMPs like sand filters, pervious pavement systems, bioretention cells, filtration trenches and conventional filters by easily replacing or displacing a portion of the conventional media.
