AMS and BIOBOX announce their partnership which brings to United States BIOBOX’s containerized biological treatment system for nitrate removal from groundwater and wastewater. The partnership will offer a fully automated, turnkey “intelligent nitrate treatment system” by integrating AMS’ online Instran™ nitrate analyzer that provides continuous, real-time control of the system performance

SafeGuard™ H2O is an advanced on-site, on-demand, automated non-toxic reagent generation system that is advancing the treatment of inorganic and trace metal contaminants and supporting carbon reduction targets by replacing the need to deliver and handle toxic bulk chemicals to treatment plants. The technology helps to remove a wide range of heavy metals and nutrients from water and wastewater as well as inhibit lead, copper and iron corrosion in water transport systems. The novel in-situ process produces reagents at a cost demonstrated to be significantly below that of the same reagents delivered in bulk form. On-site reagent generation is an affordable, non-hazardous and environmentally sustainable solution — providing a 60% cost savings and a rapid return on investment.

Approximately 50% of water and wastewater utilities experience delays in chemical availability due to supply chain disruptions. According to McKinsey & Company’s January 2023 Chemicals Practice Insight “A new operations formula for the chemicals sector,” 2022 was a tumultuous year for the global chemical sector which faced spiraling costs, looming skills shortage, and pressure for decarbonization. So, what does this all mean for the water industry? In this episode of AMS Talks AMS CEO Rick Bacon and Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud discuss critical chemical supply chain risk and explore solutions to help mitigate exposure to those risks in the water industry.

The online Instran™ analyzer is integral to maintaining safety in the chlor-alkali process. Instran™ is effective at measuring ammonia and ammonium in brines above 80 g/L; it ensures plant optimization by allowing real-time and accurate monitoring, despite the difficulties presented by a high concentration of NaCl in the sample.

British Petroleum (BP) replaced one of its existing Tytronics online fluoride analyzers at the Castellón refinery in Spain with the online Instran™ Fluoride analyzer. Monitoring fluoride levels in real-time with a reliable and accurate online water quality analyzer is integral to maintaining safety of the alkylation zone and overall refinery. Since its installation in January 2022, the Instran analyzer has been operating continuously and has met the facility’s needs to monitor fluoride levels in real-time within the alkylation zone.

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.

SafeGuard™ H2O is a fully automated in-situ ferrous/ferric generation system that provides utilities, large to small, with an affordable, non-hazardous and environmentally sustainable solution for phosphate removal. On-site reagent generation delivers 60% cost savings and rapid ROI. This novel technology, poised to displace toxic bulk chemicals, uses a certified iron precursor and an in-situ electrolytic generator to create a ferrous/ferric reagent onsite and on demand. The SafeGuard H2O process is simple, effective and carbon neutral.

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.

The Instran™ nitrate analyzer provides rapid, real-time, multi-stream reliable analysis of nitrate in both drinking water and wastewater treatment plants. The online analyzer provides high frequency data on nitrate levels in nine minutes with sensitivity down to 0.01 ppm.
