American Peat Technology LLC

American Peat Technology is a leader in the search for low-cost solutions to problems involving the removal of dissolved heavy metals.Many engineers are aware of the ion exchange potential inherent in natural and artificial wetlands. American Peat Technology has developed a process by which reed sedge peat is granulated and hardened while preserving the natural ion exchange mechanism operating within the parent bog. This process yields a porous granular media that, when used in conventional sand filter equipment, demonstrates excellent removal of particulates and dissolves heavy metals.Research has demonstrated strong affinities for dissolves Cu, Ni, Pb, Cr, Cd, Co, and Zn. Reduction in concentrations of some of these metals can exceed 98%.Contact us to see if this development has the potential to help with some of your environmental or process issues.
