The innovative SafeGuard™ H2O intelligent Hg(II) remediation system has been successfully demonstrated in a bench test study to remove ionic mercury in power plant wastewater. This novel technology generates a stannous ion reagent in-situ via an electrolytic process, providing a cost-effective alternative to highly challenging and expensive existing mercury treatment process.

The semiconductor industry has found that traditional analytical methods for complexed copper in wastewater are not fit for purpose. Complexed copper cannot be measured using ion-selective electrodes and colorimetry technology faces a number of severe challenges. Faced with the challenges of colorimetry, Samsung Austin Semiconductors (SAS) evaluated the MetalGuard™ analyzer for its potential to significantly improve safety and quality of measurements for copper wastewater streams.

MetalGuard™ is the first fully automated, online multi-stream analyzer for monitoring trace metal contaminants such as As, Cu, Cd, Zn, Cr, Fe, Ni, Co, V, U, Se, and more. The online analyzer provides high-frequency real-time data on trace metal contaminant levels in less than one hour and has a sensitivity down to 1 ppb.

Intelligent water treatment systems incorporate real-time sensing to ensure that their performance is optimized to avoid under- or over-treatment and that any deterioration in system performance is signaled to permit timely remedial intervention.

AMS has completed the successful demonstration of their SafeGuard™ H2O proof of concept for the treatment of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) at the City of Los Banos in California. The novel technology generates a stannous ion reagent in-situ via an electrolytic process and also features an online Cr(VI) monitoring analyzer to ensure remediation of Cr(VI) to below 10 ppb.

Aqua Metrology Systems and University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst), have partnered to develop a robust online raw-water trihalomethanes (THMs) -precursor analyzer. On 23 January 2018 they received a commitment from Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) through its AmplifyMass program to cost share in the development and assessment of this new online THM-Precursor analyzer.

SafeGuard™ is an automated trace metals analyzer for monitoring municipal and industrial water and wastewater. The system provides real-time, multi-stream analysis for a range of trace metal contaminants. SafeGuard delivers accurate and reliable results (up to 1 ppb or ± 15%, whichever is higher) with a typical measurement time of fewer than 30 minutes.

MetalGuard™ Chromium is the first fully automated, online multi-stream hexavalent chromium (chromium-6) analyzer for monitoring drinking water with chromium contamination. The online analyzer provides high frequency real-time data on chromium contaminant levels in thirty minutes with sensitivity down to 0.5 ppb.

The MetalGuard™ Selenium analyzer provides real-time, reliable, and accurate data on selenium levels, including selenite and selenate. Results are available as quick as 30 minutes or in less than two hours, with sensitivity down to 1 ppb for certain selenium species. The fully automated analyzer’s robust and stable design ensures it can maintain its sensitivity and calibrated status for an unlimited timeframe while operating reliably regardless of sample matrix conditions.

Aigües de Barcelona decided to monitor THM levels more frequently and they implemented the use of online analyzers to provide accurate and timely information regarding the THM formation in their network.
