As regulatory requirements and the availability of more accurate diagnostic technologies continue to push the legal threshold limit of contaminants, utilities are turning to high-frequency data to identify contaminant threats and diagnose critical treatment system performance. Learn how El Paso Water’s Upper Valley Water Treatment Plant was able to meet regulatory requirements with the help of AMS’s MetalGuard™ automated, online arsenic analyzers.

Listen to the latest podcast from AMS Radio featuring Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, who discusses why manual sampling and lab analysis fall short in determining system performance and regulatory compliance in trace metal remediation, and how advances in water quality analyzers help optimize the remediation process.

A study released by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), found that a mix of pollutants in California drinking water could cause an estimated 15,500 additional cases of cancer over the course of a lifetime. While concerns about water quality and safety continue to grow, it is important to note that a number of California utilities are already implementing real-time, online monitoring to determine the presence of water-borne contaminants of concern and ensure drinking water safety at all times. AMS is helping these utilities to not only identify THM and trace metal contaminant threats, but also to diagnose critical treatment system performance once a solution has been put in place.

The rapid response benchtop THM-RR™ analyzer provides fast, reliable and accurate analysis of individual and total THM concentrations. For water treatment operators, consulting engineers and THM treatment system vendors the THM-RR delivers valuable THM performance data far faster than external laboratories.

AMS Chief Scientist Michael West, Ph.D., reflects on Earth Day and shares his views on water quality and environmental challenges. 

The article “EU Regulation Changes Hones Market for Disinfection By-product Solutions,” featured in the March 2019 issue of Global Water Intelligence (GWI) explores how the proposed regulatory changes and growing global concerns over the effects of disinfection by-products (DBPs) have brought the need for effective DBPs management into focus. AMS CEO Rick Bacon participated in the discussion and stressed the importance of real-time monitoring of THM Formation Potential in the management of all treatment systems for THM remediation.

Aqua Metrology Systems has partnered with Foundation Instruments, Inc. to expand its offerings of online and real-time monitoring of trihalomethanes (THMs) with the addition of Foundation Instruments’ THM-Rapid Response (THM-RR) online benchtop analyzer. The benchtop analyzer reports individual and total THM concentrations in real‐time so that utilities can be more proactive in responding to water quality changes and managing carcinogenic disinfection by-products (DBP).

Welcome to AMS Radio. Medora Corporation recently selected the AMS THM-100 online analyzer to provide real-time and predictive analytics data to support the design and operation of its aeration system. Rick Bacon, CEO of Aqua Metrology Systems, talks about how this collaboration came about.

Traditional chromium remediation systems are expensive and have high operating costs. SafeGuard H2O, the first truly intelligent chromium remediation system was specifically developed to help drive down the costs of treatment. The technology also features an online analyzer to control and monitor system performance, in real time, by providing a high density of actual data on influent and effluent chromium levels. This video highlights this new accurate, affordable and effective chromium treatment technology.

The data from AMS online analyzers fulfill mission-critical functions of process control, risk management and contract compliance for its clients. With this in mind, AMS after-sales service support aims to maximize the uptime and minimize time to repair its analyzers.  Every AMS system is offered with an annual service contract (ASC).
