The City of Alamosa, Colorado, evaluated the SafeGuard™ H2O arsenic removal technology to replace the use of bulk ferric chloride. The evaluation demonstrated the technology’s ability to provide effective and reliable arsenic removal below 5 ppb with a ferrous dose of 6.5-8 mg/L that was generated on-site and on-demand. The demonstration also evaluated the purity of the in-situ electrogenerated ferrous reagent compared to bulk ferric chloride, showing SafeGuard™ H2O’s ferrous reagent precursor to be of higher quality. In this episode of AMS Talks, Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud speaks with Roy Sanchez, CWP, Water Plant Operator for the City of Alamosa, and Dr. Vladimir Dozortsev, Senior Product Manager for AMS, who discuss insights about this project and what prompted the City of Alamosa to undertake this arsenic removal demonstration.

Ferric chloride is a water treatment chemical widely used to remove impurities in water and wastewater. While ferric chloride is effective and approved for use in a range of applications, there is a lack of adequate quality controls and certification for this bulk chemical. Ferric chloride contains a range of contaminants, including manganese, chromium, arsenic, zinc, lead, and copper that can be found in high concentrations and can be very harmful to human health. In addition, ferric chloride is an extremely corrosive and potentially hazardous substance that requires it to be handled and stored with care, driving the cost of treatment. In this episode of AMS Talks, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, and Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud discuss the use of ferric chloride as a water treatment chemical, and the need for alternative solutions that do not contaminate our water supply.

In December 2022, the State of California published its long-awaited recommendation for a regulatory limit for hexavalent chromium (Cr6) in water of 10 ppb. According to the California State Water Resources Control Board, there are more than 2,600 community systems with elevated Cr6 levels serving nearly 13 million people. This proposed regulation unequivocally identifies AMS and its in-situ stannous generation technology, SafeGuard™ H2O, as the best available technology to treat Cr6 and provide safe drinking water to the millions of consumers across California, many of whom live in underserved communities. Watch the latest episode of AMS Talks featuring AMS CEO Rick Bacon and Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud who discuss how this proven and cost-effective solution can treat most of the wells with high Cr6 levels, giving a peace of mind to water utilities impacted by this new regulation.

In this episode of AMS Talks, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, speaks with Joshua Webster, water treatment operator for California American Water about the demonstration of SafeGuard™ H2O arsenic removal technology at the Isleton Water System. The demonstration at Isleton showed the effectiveness of SafeGuard™ H2O to mitigate total arsenic contamination in drinking water below 10 ppb, and its ability to deliver an affordable and reliable fully automated treatment process that does not require the use of bulk chemicals like conventional treatment approaches (e.g., coagulation/filtration).

AMS CEO Rick Bacon and Sr. Product Manager Vladimir Dozortsev, Ph.D., discuss the SafeGuard™ H2O in-situ reagent generation technology, which is designed to effectively and economically treat a wide range of contaminants found in drinking water and wastewater, including phosphate. SafeGuard™ H2O offers facilities an affordable, non-hazardous and environmentally sustainable solution to address trace metal and inorganic contaminants. Watch now to learn more about the SafeGuard™ H2O in-situ reagent generation process and its operational advantages over bulk chemical and electrocoagulation.

Looking to achieve phosphate removal without any of the process limitations found in bulk chemicals or electrocoagulation? Watch AMS CEO Rick Bacon’s insightful presentation on AMS’ SafeGuard™ H2O in-situ reagent generation technology which offers a disruptive innovation for facilities looking to manage phosphate in a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable and carbon neutral manner.

AMS Sr. Product Manager, Vladimir Dozortsev, Ph.D., offers a quick preview of the innovative SafeGuard™ H2O in-situ reagent generation system undergoing testing for NSF/ANSI 61 Standard. A 10 gpm SafeGuard H2O stannous generation system was used in the test. The fully automated system generates a reagent on demand, providing economical and reliable treatment of a wide range of contaminants for small and large water systems.

Watch AMS CEO Rick Bacon’s insightful presentation on advanced lead corrosion control and risk management to learn more about how big data can be used to solve an immediate problem faced by consumers and the risk of lead poisoning.

In this episode of AMS Talks Value of Data series, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, is joined by Grady Eastman, Partner at TwinOxide North America, who discusses the company’s chlorine dioxide treatment solution and its unique demonstration trailer that’s currently making its way across the U.S. visiting with water utilities struggling with trihalomethane (THM) compliance. Eastman shares insights about how using the AMS online THM analyzer, THM-100™, has proven a valuable tool enabling TwinOxide to demonstrate the efficacy of their treatment process, helping to resolve THM compliance concerns for municipalities in the US.
