AMS

Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, provides an in-depth review of lessons learned from the past year and outlook for AMS in 2021 and beyond.

Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, discusses the key challenges faced by leaders of technology startups in the water industry, including funding strategies, setting expectations, and building an expert team.

In this episode of AMS Talks, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, and Marcie Demmy Bidwell, Executive Director for the Mountain Studies Institute in Colorado, discuss the environmental impact of abandoned mines and efforts to protect water quality. Colorado has roughly 23,000 abandoned mines. Because of the financial scale of this challenge and the existential threat posed by these mines to human health and the environment, Bacon and Bidwell discuss the importance of bringing together the voice of governments, mining companies, and technology solution providers to share ideas and work together toward a solution to this pressing issue.

To meet the goals for safe drinking water and sustainability in the most cost-effective manner, there is an urgent need for the water industry to accelerate the validation and adoption of technology innovations. The adoption of real-time, water quality analyzers at water hubs is poised to change the game of technology acceptance in the water quality sector.

AMS CEO Rick Bacon caught up with Walid Khoury, a leading water consultant and influencer, on the value of predictive analytics in trihalomethane (THM) monitoring. Bacon discusses how AMS’ THM-100™, online trihalomethane (THM) and THM formation potential (THM-FP) analyzers, help to optimize water treatment processes and operations by accurately measuring THMs in real-time within the plant and predicting very precisely what those THM levels will be in the distribution network, days and miles away.

AMS’ online water quality analyzers provide valuable real-time data to understand inorganic, organic, and trace metal contaminant levels throughout the treatment process and distribution system. This data helps facilities identify changes in contaminant levels quickly, enabling them to make necessary process adjustments to ensure cost-effective compliance with regulatory and contract requirements. AMS offers a unique data quality assurance program that guarantees unmatched service levels in the industry. AMS after-sales service support is designed to maximize uptime and minimize analyzer repair time, delivering >99% data availability and uptime.

In this episode of AMS Talks, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, discusses innovations in arsenic removal treatment technologies and why it might be time to implement a more stringent federal standard for this carcinogenic contaminant than the 10 ppb limit set by the EPA in 2001.
