CleanWay | Metals Removal Media
For highly effective removal of metals from stormwater, industrial and wastewater discharge, CleanWay® offers FORAGER® Sponge, a proven, proprietary medium that efficiently removes heavy metals through ion adsorption and filtration processes.

To address site-specific water requirements, CleanWay provides Metals Removal Media products that incorporate FORAGER® Sponge and can be deployed in various applications including:

  • stormwater filtration devices to replace or augment existing media
  • removal of dissolved metals in industrial and wastewater sewer discharge, cooling tower blow down water, ship bilge water, waste streams and any effluent that contains metals
  • capturing high levels of dissolved metals and reducing insoluble components
CleanWay Metals Removal Media is highly effective in both retrofits and new installations. It can readily be applied to other manufacturer ’s devices, deployed to retrofit existing structural BMPs by safely and simply replacing the filtration system’s current conventional media, and disposing of spent media according to local regulations. New installations are delivered with the media and are activated once installed and online.

The media works in standard catch basins, filter vaults and downspout filtration units. It can also be used in industrial applications through a variety of custom fabricated filtration apparatus or CleanWay’s Adsorption Boom.

Targeting Metals

FORAGER ® Sponge highly specialized, metals-targeted media reduces and removes zinc, copper, lead and other heavy metals commonly found in stormwater and industrial process water discharge. To help meet your site’s specific water quality objectives, we work with you to determine the right media blend.

With high ion adsorption capabilities and quick and aggressive kinetics, dissolved metals are captured and held in the media so they won’t leach out – and runoff or discharge runs clean.

Retrofits and New Sites

Designed for commercial, industrial and residential sites, the CleanWay media blend can be deployed in:
  1. Retrofitting existing systems by simply replacing current media with our proprietary blend
  2. New installations with the media blend incorporated into CleanWay catch basin filtration systems
  3. Adsorption booms specially designed to target metals removal
  4. Custom fabricated pressure systems or gravity fed systems
