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.

Watch the latest episode of AMS Talks featuring Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, who discusses the technology options available for wastewater treatment in the power industry and how new technology innovations ensure that utilities will no longer have to choose between compliance and affordability.

Lead contamination in drinking water presents a serious threat to human health. While utilities monitor for lead by sampling infrequently only a small number of domestic points of use, these traditional lead monitoring programs lack the ability to measure the presence of all forms of lead; capture unpredictable changes in water quality that result in lead corrosion; and report the contamination risk before the water is delivered to the customer. MetalGuard™ Lead Alert!™ from AMS is designed to offer communities real-time, continuous and dynamic water quality assessment of the presence of total lead in buildings or zones exposed to events that are the cause of acute lead contamination to reduce the risk of exposure.

The R.E. Badger Filtration Plant turned to AMS’s online trihalomethane (THM) analyzer, THM-100™, to obtain continuous and real-time data to characterize THMs in the distribution system and allow it to have an early indication of potential THM formation problems before they become a compliance issue.

AMS is celebrating 10 years of delivering innovative water quality solutions that have transformed the way we see water. This milestone anniversary represents a decade of intensive research and development of real-time, online water quality monitoring and intelligent water remediation solutions to predict, control and treat regulated contaminants in drinking water, process water and wastewater.
