Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, discusses AMS’ real-time water quality monitoring and intelligent water treatment solutions with Water & Wastes Digest’s editor Bob Crossen, who asked exhibitors at the WEFTEC19 Innovation Showcase for a 60 second spiel about their companies and products, and this is the result.

At the BlueTech Research breakfast at WEFTEC 2019, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, discusses why DBPs remain a significant water quality concern for water treatment plants that lack real-time accurate and reliable data in order to make timely and accurate decisions. With AMS’ THM-100™ online analyzer, treatment plants can gain access to high-density THM and THM formation potential data to optimize their processes and ensure public health.

Listen to the latest podcast from AMS Radio featuring Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, who discusses the role of real-time, continuous and accurate selenium data for reliable selenium removal treatment processes. Field-based sampling and laboratory analysis approaches to measuring selenium have struggled to accurately measure the contaminant. Online selenium analyzers provide timely and accurate data on selenium speciation at critical remediation process stages to help protect public health and the environment.

Online instruments help water utilities control water treatment operations. CEO Rick Bacon of Aqua Metrology Systems explains how utilities rely on sensors to meet water quality compliance standards and optimize operational performance in the May/June 2019 issue of World Water.

Listen to the latest podcast from AMS Radio featuring Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, who discusses why water treatment systems are inherently stupid and they need a brain. As water utilities are increasingly turning to real-time data to identify contaminant threats and diagnose critical treatment system performance once a solution has been put in place, online and real-time water quality analyzers contribute to the development of intelligent water treatment systems.

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.

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).

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).

Medora Corporation (Medora) and Aqua Metrology Systems (AMS) have teamed up to deliver a complete trihalomethane (THM)compliance solution for water utilities to manage harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Medora has announced that it will be using AMS’ online THM and THM Formation Potential analyzer, THM-100™, to provide real-time and predictive analytics data to design and operate its aeration system more efficiently, thereby saving utilities high treatment costs while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
