Based at 519 Industrial Drive in Woodstock, Georgia, Applied Polymer Systems, Inc. develops and distributes anionic polyacrylamide polymer solutions for erosion control, stormwater management, and environmental treatment applications across the Atlanta metro and beyond. The company’s product lines are engineered to address construction-site runoff, pond clarity, dust suppression, and large-scale dredging and dewatering challenges.
The APS 700 Series Silt Stop powders are formulated specifically for erosion prevention at active grading and construction sites. Complementing these are APS 700 Series Floc Logs for stormwater clarification at drainage outlets, APS 600 Series Silt Stop for additional erosion applications, and APS 800 Series Pond Log for lake and pond management. Silt Clear powders, another product in the lineup, are designed for fine particulate removal and the company states the product can eliminate upward of 90 percent of fine silt, clays, metals, and nutrients when paired with traditional best management practices. A dust control formulation agglomerates airborne fine particles and suppresses dust for one to four days while maintaining soil permeability.
Applied Polymer Systems differentiates its approach by precisely matching polymer chemistry to each specific application rather than applying generalized treatments. All formulations use anionic polyacrylamide, which 2012 EPA Construction General Permit research found to carry significantly less aquatic toxicity than alternative chemical approaches, and the products are deemed safe for fish and aquatic organisms.
The company received the Product Innovation and Excellence Award from the Stormwater Management Academy and the University of Central Florida for its Floc Log product, recognized at the 2nd Annual Stormwater Management Research Symposium. The firm also holds USDA permission to import soil samples for laboratory analysis, supporting research and product refinement.
