Who We Are

Abbtek is an engineering consulting firm with a team of seasoned experts, each boasting over 45 years of experience in design engineering, and construction. Our passion for problem-solving and innovation has led to 16 patents, including two groundbreaking separation  technologies now available for licensing to industries and interested parties.

  1. Wedge Bar for Inertial Separation (US8887925)
  2. Cyclone Induced Sweeping Flow Separation (US9446342)

These patents represent our Assisted Sweeping Flow Technology (SepraFlow) – a revolutionary advancement in mixed-phase fluid separation, proven in rigorous testing at ALDEN’s Worcester, MA laboratory.

What is SepraFlow?

SepraFlow is a high-efficiency separation method for mixed-phase fluids, including:

  • Liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, gas-liquid, or gas-solid separation
  • Applications across industries: Water Intake, Water/Wastewater, Oil & Gas, Mining, Pulp & Paper, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Beverage, and more

Originally developed to address EPA’s 316(b) Rule, SepraFlow technology exceeds regulatory targets by preventing impingement and entrainment of aquatic life in once-through cooling systems.

Why SepraFlow Stands Out

Proven Effectiveness: >94% success rate in protecting aquatic life at water intakes, particularly at vulnerable early stages—far surpassing current solutions.
Cyclone Enhancement: Our Cyclone Induced Sweeping Flow patent significantly boosts separation efficiency while reducing equipment size and cost, making it ideal for diverse industrial applications.
Broad Applicability: Limited only by creativity—SepraFlow can be tailored to unique separation and filtration challenges.

Licensing Opportunity

We are offering licenses and engineering support to bring SepraFlow technology to your operations. Whether improving water intake systems, filtration processes, or industrial separations, SepraFlow delivers unmatched performance and sustainability benefits.
