FAQ
What is Ferrate and why is it important for water treatment?
Ferrate is a highly powerful oxidant that can remove a wide range of contaminants — from metals and hydrogen sulfide to organic pollutants. Unlike traditional chemicals, it decomposes into non-toxic iron, making it an eco-friendly alternative for sustainable water treatment.
How does AMS’s SafeGuard™ H2O technology make ferrate accessible?
The SafeGuard H2O system generates high-purity ferrate on-site and on-demand using a simple electrolytic process. It eliminates the challenges of ferrate’s instability during storage and transport.
Is ferrate safe to handle and use?
Yes. Ferrate is produced in a controlled process using common, widely available materials. It rapidly converts to non-toxic iron oxides after use, leaving no harmful residues or byproducts.
Who can benefit from the SafeGuard™ H2O on-site ferrate generation system?
SafeGuard H2O is designed for a wide range of users, including researchers testing treatment solutions to municipal water facilities and industrial operations tackling biofouling, corrosion, or contaminant removal. Scalable configurations, from small batch to full-scale systems, make it adaptable to virtually any application.
