AMS

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.

Communities across the world are plagued by lead contamination and corrosion concerns, which often come to light during testing of children’s blood and after the event has occurred. AMS has developed advanced solutions for lead corrosion risk management and control. AMS’ online lead corrosion monitoring technologies are backed by actionable, high-frequency data, providing a comprehensive risk map that informs public health authorities, water treatment plant operators and consumers. AMS’ intelligent in-situ corrosion inhibitor generation and delivery technology offers a localized treatment solution that displaces orthophosphates and provides a responsive, point-of-care, effective approach to manage the multi-variant challenge of lead corrosion risk.

AMS CEO Rick Bacon delivered a presentation to India water industry leaders focusing on recent innovations that are fundamentally challenging some of the paradigms under which the water industry has operated for many years. Water systems the world over struggle with access to affordable, reliable and scalable treatment solutions. Watch Bacon’s insightful presentation to learn how innovations in real-time water quality analyzers and advanced intelligent water treatment systems will ultimately change the global water paradigm and address the needs of all communities, large or small.

The town of Gilbert, Arizona, has been using real-time trihalomethane (THM) data from the online THM analyzer, THM-100™, since October 2017 to manage DBPs within its extensive network. The online THM-100 analyzer has acted as the brains of the THM remediation efforts across Gilbert’s reservoirs and pumping stations, providing operational certainty that the town did not have before.

Since 2014, the AMS online trihalomethane (THM) analyzer, THM-100™, has enabled Aigües de Barcelona to identify rapid changes in water quality in real-time, optimize its treatment processes, and reduce related expenses while ensuring THM regulatory compliance. 

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.

SafeGuard™ H2O THM is an intelligent spray aeration system for real-time THM monitoring and control. SafeGuard H2O is a fully automated and consistently reliable THM treatment system that incorporates online, continuous, real-time THM monitoring with active spray aeration to bring utilities a highly accurate and cost-effective solution to meet DBP regulatory compliance and ensure public safety.  SafeGuard H2O is the only THM treatment system to guarantee up to an 80% reduction along with affordable operation for the control of THMs and the ability to understand, in real-time, THM and THM Formation Potential (THM-FP) levels.

In this episode of AMS Talks, Value of Data series, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, and Bryan Galvin, President of B&V Enterprises, discuss the challenges and opportunities in managing trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water systems and the role of real-time and predicative THM data in designing and operating a highly effective and cost-efficient aeration system. Learn about the operational and process benefits that can be achieved by implementing real-time online THM monitors, such as the AMS online THM analyzer, THM-100™, into your disinfection byproduct mitigation strategy.

Southsea STS, a U.K.-based technical services company specializing in water quality, has a history of embracing and implementing new technologies and ideas to support compliance and control in buildings. Recently, Southsea has been evaluating new technologies for corrosion management as part of a pilot program with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) in the UK. Richard Lawson, Director for Southsea STS, gives a behind the scenes look of the pilot project on the use of AMS’ SafeGuard™ H2O stannous generator to provide corrosion inhibition water treatment for closed-loop heating and cooling systems. Current corrosion inhibitors are relatively expensive, potentially toxic to handle, and can have difficulty meeting requirements imposed for disposal. The SafeGuard™ H2O stannous-based solution can help organizations better manage corrosion and ensure compliance.

A research project collaboration between the Water and Energy Technology Center at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Ma., and AMS tested a novel method for near real-time analysis of disinfection byproduct precursors and natural organic matter properties in water supplies. AMS’ online trihalomethane (THM) and THM Formation Potential (THM-FP) monitoring technology was shown to be a viable method to predict THM precursor content and network THM levels accurately. The collaboration was funded by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.
