Tin has been an abundant source of helpful chemistry throughout history and continues to be so today. From the dawning of the bronze age to its affordable use in water treatment, the properties of tin have lent themselves to being effectively utilized for modern applications. This report highlights tin’s pivotal role in human innovation. It discusses a novel method that introduces tin as stannous ions for water treatment to provide a safer and more efficient option when green practices are in desperate need and in high demand.

Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, shares how the company is driving innovation with real-time water quality data and intelligent water treatment systems. Rick provides an in-depth review of 2019 and an outlook for 2020.

Watch the latest episode of AMS Talks featuring Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, who discusses AMS’ pilot demonstration of its SafeGuard™ H2O Hexavalent Chromium [Cr (VI)] remediation system at the City of Los Banos, Calif. The goal of the pilot is to demonstrate how SafeGuard H2O can effectively and affordably treat Cr(VI) down to non-detect levels and how the system can be fully controlled, monitored and optimized remotely without the presence of personnel on site.

AMS announces the pilot demonstration of its SafeGuard™ H2O Hexavalent Chromium [Cr (VI)] remediation system at the City of Los Banos, Calif. The pilot is being conducted in one of the city’s wells which has elevated Cr(VI) levels of 40 ppb and extremely challenging water quality due to the presence of uranium, high conductivity and hardness.

AMS’ SafeGuard™ H2O, an innovative in-situ stannous (Sn²⁺) generator, harnesses the power of tin to address trace metal contaminants, such as hexavalent chromium and more. Traditional treatment systems are expensive and associated with high capital and operating costs. SafeGuard H2O is the first truly intelligent trace metal remediation system that demonstrates how innovation can reduce the costs of drinking and wastewater treatment, support tighter regulatory standards for contaminants of concern and widen access to safe drinking water for all.

MetalGuard™ Lead Alert!™ — a novel automated and unattended real-time lead corrosion risk management system for monitoring the risk of exposure to lead contamination. MetalGuard Lead Alert! is specifically designed to alert utilities and consumers of an increased risk of lead contamination, before lead contamination occurs and impacts consumers and their health, by providing high frequency, timely and accurate predictive data on dissolved and total lead in water samples.

AMS introduces MetalGuard™ Lead Alert!™ — a novel automated and unattended real-time lead corrosion risk management system for monitoring the risk of exposure to lead contamination. MetalGuard Lead Alert! is specifically designed to address lead contamination concerns by providing high frequency, timely and accurate predictive data on dissolved and total lead in water samples to alert utilities and consumers of an increased risk of lead contamination, before lead contamination occurs and impacts consumers and their health.

SafeGuard™ is an automated lead analyzer for monitoring exposure to lead contamination from lead pipes, solder and brass fittings. It is designed to be used independently or in conjunction with MetalGuard™ Lead Alert! ™ when this warns of an increase in contamination risk.

The benefits of using this novel analyzer include the rapid analysis of the safety of drinking water in homes, schools, day-cares exposed to the risk of lead contamination, delivery of results in minutes to identify contamination sites far faster than laboratory-based analysis, accurate measurement of total lead, a feature not available with hand-held analyzers and rapid delivery of results ensures quarantined sites can be released more quickly after lead remediation.
