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.

AMS a leader in the prediction, control and treatment of trace metals, introduces a “Micro-Piloting” program for its novel intelligent SafeGuard™ H2O trace metal remediation system. Municipal water systems or industrial facilities looking for new treatment options to remove hexavalent chromium, ionic mercury, and selenium contamination can use the Micro-Piloting program to deploy and assess demonstrations of the SafeGuard H2O technology far more quickly and for a cost that is a fraction of traditional technology demonstration pilots.

Water & Wastes Digest Associate Editor Sara Myers recently spoke with Rick Bacon, CEO of Aqua Metrology Systems, about AMS’ SafeGuard H2O innovative remediation system and its proven ability to address a range of trace metal contaminants, including ionic mercury. The system offers a cost-effective alternative to highly challenging and expensive existing mercury removal processes. Read more here.

Aqua Metrology Systems’ innovative mercury remediation system, SafeGuard H2O, proven to address dissolved (ionic) mercury from power plant wastewater, was recently featured in Power magazine. SafeGuard H2O is a proprietary approach based on electrolytic stannous reagent generation on demand, making it free of the drawbacks of using a traditional stannous chloride reagent while providing a simple, efficient and cost-effective alternative to highly challenging and expensive existing mercury treatment processes.

2018 was a busy year for AMS. We raised awareness about the value of real-time, online high-density data to determine the presence of water-borne contaminants and began deployment of our own patented Intelligent Water Treatment System for chromium, mercury, lead and selenium remediation. In 2019, we anticipate wider adoption of our online contaminant analyzers in North America and Europe and plan to broaden access to safe drinking water through innovative drinking and wastewater treatment technologies.

AMS announced the pilot demonstration of its SafeGuard™ H2O HexavalentChromium [Cr (VI)] remediation system at California’s Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District. Real-time data on the system’s performance will be streamed live, providing transparency of the pilot study and treatment efficacy of the technology.

SafeGuard™ H2O is an intelligent water system that has been developed to help drive down the costs of improving the quality of US water supplies by providing an accurate and affordable Cr(VI) remediation system. AMS presented “Novel Hexavalent Chromium Remediation System with Online Chromium Monitoring System Demonstrated at California Utility” at the CA/NV AWWA Fall Conference 2018; detailing how utilities now have an easy to operate, economical and reliable Cr(VI) remediation system available to meet their treatment needs.

AMS presented a reliable, rapid, and online method for predicting the potential formation of THMs from raw or treated water at the CA/NV AWWA Fall Conference 2018.”Online Instrument for Raw-Water THM Precursor Analysis” detailed how this novel technology is helping utilities make adjustments to their treatment processes in real-time to minimize the production of THMs.

AMS has recently completed the successful demonstration of a proof of concept for the removal of dissolved mercury (Hg²⁺) in power plant wastewater. The SafeGuard™ H2O system offers a low-cost, reliable remediation system proven to address a range of trace metal contaminants, including ionic mercury.

The innovative SafeGuard™ H2O intelligent Hg(II) remediation system has been successfully demonstrated in a bench test study to remove ionic mercury in power plant wastewater. This novel technology generates a stannous ion reagent in-situ via an electrolytic process, providing a cost-effective alternative to highly challenging and expensive existing mercury treatment process.
