A California Water Utility experiencing elevated levels of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] in their drinking water supply is the first commercial application to use the MetalGuard™ Cr(VI) real-time water quality monitor developed by Aqua Metrology Systems. The monitor was installed to provide high frequency, reliable, and accurate data on hexavalent and total chromium levels during the pilot test of a Reduction/Coagulation/Oxidation/Filtration (RCOF) process.

Aigües de Barcelona, the leading water utility in Spain, has received accreditation to the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Standard for the use of Aqua Metrology Systems’ online THM-100™ analyzer to continuously monitor trihalomethanes (THMs) in their dinking water supply network servicing 3,000,000 million inhabitants across metropolitan Barcelona.  In addition to providing the utility with contract compliance and process optimization data, THM readings can now be used to submit regulatory compliance data.

Lowell Institute for Mineral Resources in conjunction with Sub Rosa Monitoring LLC has developed a fully automated and self-calibrating water quality monitoring system to measure surface and subsurface fluid flow and ground water quality for a copper mine in Arizona. After evaluating a variety of trace metals analytical approaches for integration into the broader water quality monitoring system, the University of Arizona selected the SafeGuard™ Duo online/offline analyzer from Aqua Metrology Systems due to its automation and precision.

Aqua Metrology Systems has introduced an innovative and proprietary analytical method on their SafeGuard™ system that provides measurements of trace metals in 5 minutes without compromising accuracy levels.

Padre Dam Municipal Water District in Santee, California has installed the THM-100™ online THM monitor from Aqua Metrology Systems to provide real-time data on DBP formation, aid the utility in evaluating their innovative free chlorine disinfection strategy, and ensure the safety of potable reuse water being used produced at their Advanced Water Purification Demonstration Project.

AMS introduces an online accelerated THM Formation Potential Analyzer, the THM-100-FP™, providing real-time predictions of future THM levels in water/wastewater treatment plant distribution networks.

Online THM and Trace Metals Instruments from Aqua Metrology Systems Featured at ACE15

Online THM and trace metals analytical instruments from Aqua Metrology Systems (AMS) will be featured at the ACE15 annual conference and exposition in Anaheim, California.

The THM-100™ online monitor provides automated, unattended measurement of THMs. Leading drinking water utilities and engineering groups have come to value the high frequency and reliable data provided by the THM-100; enabling a firm and immediate understanding of THM values so they can better anticipate problems and maintain optimal treatment conditions. The THM-100 is cited as the key element in real-time THM data gathering in three ACE15 technical session presentations.

• The City of Birmingham will present Online THM Analyzer Used to Optimize Chlorine Disinfection Process and Minimize DBP Formation in Alabama in the TUE15
• Corona Engineering will present High THMs? Strip‘em Away! Full-Scale Demonstration of Two Aeration Strategies for Removal of TTHM from Treated Water in the TUE38
• San Jose Water Company and Pax Water Technologies with Utility Services Group will present Energy-Optimized Large-Scale THM Removal: Results from a 12-MG Reservoir, San Jose, California in the TUE38

During ACE15, AMS will also unveil their novel SafeGuard™ online trace metals analyzer for chromium VI and selenium. The SafeGuard analyzers discriminate between selenite (Se4) and total inorganic selenium and chromium-6 and total chromium; providing complete process control to proactively manage, control, mitigate and remediate trace metals contamination.

The Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department, Arizona has purchased and installed an online THM-100™ THM analyzer from Aqua Metrology Systems to monitor daily levels of the disinfection by-product at their Tres Rios Wastewater Reclamation Facility.

Aqua Metrology Systems expands into onsite trace metals testing with acquisition of leading-edge assets from TraceDetect Inc.
