As a cost-effective and efficient solution for municipal and industrial users, SafeGuard™ H2O removes inorganics, organics, and metals from water and wastewater. This revolutionary system reduces the need for bulk toxic chemicals.  The fully automated SafeGuard™ H2O technology produces a non-toxic ferrous reagent onsite and on demand using an in-situ electrolytic generator and a certified precursor. It operates on low power electricity from renewable sources.

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.

The City of Paso Robles, California, used an online water quality instrument to characterize and monitor low levels of bromodichloromethane (BDCM) and dibromochloromethane (DBCM) in its treated wastewater for groundwater recharge (GWR) use. The high frequency of reliable and accurate trihalomethane (THM) data provided by the online THM instrument proved essential to the City’s disinfection by-product (DBP) strategy to obtain regulatory compliance with NPDES permit levels.

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.

Cities across California must prioritize the implementation of Cr6 treatment solutions while protecting their investment. Therefore, as cities set out to meet today’s 10-ppb MCL, they must consider the MCL of the future and adopt the right Cr6 treatment approach that can cost-effectively comply with a more stringent regulatory limit. SafeGuard™ H2O provides a solution that ensures safety and confidence for cities. With SafeGuard™ H2O, cities can pursue a water blending strategy where appropriate and be assured of sustainable compliance if the State decides to lower the MCL.

The SafeGuard™ H2O Cr6 removal system from AMS is an affordable and reliable hexavalent chromium (Cr6) remediation solution that complies with California’s new 10-ppb MCL regulation. This NSF-approved Reduction/Coagulation/Filtration system is a designated Best Availability Technology (BAT) for Cr6 removal. With its rapid deployability and competitive financing terms, SafeGuard™ H2O makes demonstrating Cr6 removal easier and more accessible than ever before.

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.

The fully automated SafeGuard™ H2O technology produces a non-toxic stannous reagent onsite and on demand using an in-situ electrolytic generator and a certified precursor. As a cost-effective and efficient solution for municipal and industrial users, SafeGuard™ H2O removes Cr(VI), Fe, H2S, Hg, Pb, and Se from water and wastewater. It also acts as an antibiofilm, antimicrobial reagent for produced water, and as a corrosion inhibitor in distribution networks and cooling systems.

Aigües de Barcelona has systematically addressed the complexities of managing DBPs in its extensive distribution network by adopting AMS’ DaaS technology to monitor its water quality, provide process control and ensure regulatory compliance analysis. The introduction of THM-100™, an online trihalomethane (THM) and THM Formation Potential (THM-FP) analyzer with > 98.5% data availability and uptime, and subsequent process optimizations have led to significant achievements. THM levels at the treatment plants saw an 86% decrease, with a parallel 53% reduction throughout the distribution network. These improvements have also translated into a substantial economic benefit, saving the utility an estimated 30,000€ monthly in operational costs, minimizing energy costs and reducing carbon emissions.
