AMS

In this episode of AMS Talks, industry consultant and special guest host Nadia Abboud engages in a detailed conversation with Steve Mungari, Business Development Manager for AMS, about the critical issue of hexavalent chromium (Cr6) treatment planning and compliance. The discussion centers around the initiatives Steve is spearheading at AMS to support the nearly 500 sites across California that need to assess, determine, and implement compliance plans to meet the 10 ppb MCL regulation for Cr6. Watch this insightful interview to learn how AMS is positioned to aid utilities in achieving Cr6 compliance.

Watch this video to learn how online analyzers, which provide real-time water quality data, offer significant advantages over traditional lab-based testing. With high-frequency monitoring and automated alerts, online analyzers support cost-effective treatment, reduce overuse of chemicals, and ensure safe water delivery. From intake to distribution, real-time data enables facilities to optimize performance, manage risk, and make informed decisions—driving smarter, more sustainable water management.

AMS Analytics offers a range of fully automated water quality instruments that monitor inorganic, organic and trace metal contaminants in real-time. These mission-critical instruments have been delivering accurate and reliable water quality data to water utilities and industrial facilities worldwide since 2012. Every AMS online water quality monitoring system is supported by remote, 24/7 factory monitoring to ensure the quick identification and remediation of operational issues. Our unique approach minimizes downtime and optimizes performance.

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.

To comply with the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR), the Benicia Water Treatment Plant (WTP) has implemented best management practices and increased the frequency of trihalomethane (THM) monitoring. The Benicia WTP installed an online THM analyzer, THM-100™, from AMS to enhance THM management. The integration of the online THM analyzer has been crucial in managing THM levels, preventing regulatory breaches, and delivering safe drinking water to the City of Benicia.

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.
