AMS

In the latest episode of AMS Talks, industry consultant Nadia Abboud introduces our new non-executive board members, Charlie Anderson and Nilaksh Kothari. Anderson and Kothari delve into the transformative nature of AMS technology, comparing it to the game-changing introduction of membranes in the 1990s. Key features include on-site reagent production, cost-effectiveness, and a reduced carbon footprint, aiming to improve water quality sustainably. They also express their excitement about AMS’s potential to significantly impact the water industry, emphasizing scalability, retrofitting existing facilities, and maintaining a strong digital presence. Tune in for more details.

Watch this insightful interview of Jeff Bower from the Town of Gilbert, AMS CEO Rick Bacon, and BIOBOX Water Director of Operations, Joaquín Murría Martín, about the BIOBOX Nitrate demonstration at the recent Open House in Gilbert, Arizona. They discussed the innovative BIOBOX system’s ability to remove nitrates efficiently with minimal water loss compared to reverse osmosis, which loses about 30% of water and generates contaminating waste. They emphasized the focus on both capital and treatment costs, highlighting BIOBOX Nitrate’s comprehensive solution.

Watch the latest episode of AMS Talks featuring Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud and AMS CEO Rick Bacon, where they discuss some of the company’s initiatives for 2024 and what attendees can expect to see from AMS at ACE24. AMS’s latest advancements in water treatment and real-time monitoring will be on display in the Innovation Hub at ACE24.

In the latest episode of AMS Talks, Abigail Cantor, P.E., Chemical Engineer at Process Research Solutions LLC. discusses a collaboration project with Madison Water Utility to evaluate real-time monitoring of lead and copper in drinking water. This project is particularly timely given the recent EPA proposal to update regulations for reducing lead and copper exposure through drinking water. The proposed regulation will rely more heavily on using lead and copper monitoring and testing apparatuses that have historically lacked real-time data on water corrosivity, crucial for managing fluctuating lead and copper levels in water. Cantor outlines an innovative testing apparatus approach that mimics residential plumbing and incorporates automated online AMS MetalGuard™  lead and copper monitors to provide more frequent and real-time analysis. Utilities looking to adopt a cutting-edge monitoring and testing approach for lead and copper in drinking water systems will not want to miss this interview.

Watch the latest episode of AMS Talks featuring Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud and Sean Burke, who recently became AMS’s Director of Business Development. In this interview, Sean shares what drew him to AMS, his first impression of the company’s highly motivated team, and his thoughts on AMS’s diverse portfolio of analytical and treatment solutions designed to address trace metal, inorganic and organic contaminants. Sean also discusses the growing need for more carbon-neutral and environmentally friendly treatment options in the water sector and how the AMS SafeGuard™ H2O innovative technology solves that critical need by reducing chemical costs, minimizing supply chain disruptions, reducing logistical costs, and providing a fully automated, remotely controlled treatment option. In his new role at AMS, he will drive growth in the industrial sector and build partnerships with OEMs and distributors.

In this episode of AMS Talks, Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud speaks with AMS Senior Product Manager Vladimir Dozortsev, Ph.D., about the evolution of the SafeGuard™ H2O technology into new markets and applications by expanding into the on-site generation of a strong iron-based oxidizing reagent. The reagent can be used to treat a range of contaminants across municipal and industrial applications, including food and beverage, mining, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor. SafeGuard™ H2O provides sustainable, cost-effective and reliable water and wastewater treatment for facilities seeking environmentally friendly solutions that also reduce their reliance on bulk chemicals.

For more than a decade, the Brunswick & Topsham Water District (BTWD) in Maine has been using the AMS THM-100™ online THM analyzer to help manage THM concerns. Over the years, the online THM analyzer has been proven a valuable tool for the utility, enabling it to better understand its treatment processes and optimize operations. In this episode of AMS Talks, Craig Douglas, P.E., General Manager at BTWD, discusses the district’s unconventional THM management journey and how the real-time data from the THM-100™ analyzer opened the utility staff’s eyes to the impact of the operational decisions they were making.

In this episode of AMS Talks, Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud speaks with Rick Bacon, CEO of Aqua Metrology Systems (AMS), about the significance and impact of the company’s recent achievements and award recognitions. First, AMS was selected by Sacyr iChallenges for its open innovation programs as one of the three companies appointed as Sacyr’s global partner for online water quality monitoring. In addition, it was recently announced that AMS was chosen as the North & Northwest Breakthrough Winner of The Spectator Economic Innovator of the Year Award in partnership with Investec.

Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, recently visited Joaquín Murría Martín and the BIOBOX team at their facility in Zaragoza, Spain, to see the first BIOBOX® Nitrate being prepared for shipment to the US. BIOBOX Nitrate transforms nitrates in drinking or wastewater into harmless nitrogen gas through a biological process, eliminating nitrates without producing polluting byproducts. This fully automated, turnkey containerized nitrate treatment system integrates AMS’ online Instran™ nitrate analyzer for continuous, real-time control of system performance. The patented BIOBOX biological denitrification system, which is certified by SGS and NSF for the treatment of drinking water, urban or industrial wastewater, and reuse, can be deployed rapidly at the thousands of sites in the US where nitrates put at risk human health and the environment. Together, AMS and BIOBOX are delivering a transformative, intelligent and reliable nitrate treatment solution.

In this episode of AMS Talks, Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud speaks with Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, about the company’s recent nomination to The Spectator Economic Innovator of the Year Award in partnership with Investec. For the past six years, The Spectator has been recognizing British organizations for their entrepreneurship. Bacon explains what it means for AMS, its shareholders and colleagues, and him personally to be shortlisted for this prestigious award. Winners will be officially announced in November 2023.
