In this episode of AMS Talks, Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud speaks with AMS Senior Product Manager Vladimir Dozortsev, Ph.D., about the evolution of the SafeGuard™ H2O technology into new markets and applications by expanding into the on-site generation of a strong iron-based oxidizing reagent. The reagent can be used to treat a range of contaminants across municipal and industrial applications, including food and beverage, mining, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor. SafeGuard™ H2O provides sustainable, cost-effective and reliable water and wastewater treatment for facilities seeking environmentally friendly solutions that also reduce their reliance on bulk chemicals.

The state of California has a long history managing Cr(VI) in its drinking water and has been working to reestablish a standard by reevaluating the health information, as well as technologies that can provide effective treatment at lower costs. To address the lack of an effective and economically viable treatment solution for big cities, small communities, and industries, AMS has developed a low-cost Cr(VI) remediation system that removes this carcinogen to non-detectable levels at a fraction of the cost of traditional treatment systems.

MetalGuard™ is the first fully automated, online multi-stream analyzer for monitoring trace metal contaminants such as As, Cu, Cd, Zn, Cr, Fe, Ni, Co, V, U, Se, and more. The online analyzer provides high-frequency real-time data on trace metal contaminant levels in less than one hour and has a sensitivity down to 1 ppb.

Intelligent water treatment systems incorporate real-time sensing to ensure that their performance is optimized to avoid under- or over-treatment and that any deterioration in system performance is signaled to permit timely remedial intervention.

SafeGuard™ is an automated trace metals analyzer for monitoring municipal and industrial water and wastewater. The system provides real-time, multi-stream analysis for a range of trace metal contaminants. SafeGuard delivers accurate and reliable results (up to 1 ppb or ± 15%, whichever is higher) with a typical measurement time of fewer than 30 minutes.

MetalGuard™ Chromium is the first fully automated, online multi-stream hexavalent chromium (chromium-6) analyzer for monitoring drinking water with chromium contamination. The online analyzer provides high frequency real-time data on chromium contaminant levels in thirty minutes with sensitivity down to 0.5 ppb.

MetalGuard™ Selenium is the first fully automated, online selenium analyzer for monitoring industrial wastewater discharges. The analyzer provides real-time data on selenium contaminant levels in less than two hours with sensitivity down to 1 ppb for certain selenium species.

MetalGuard™ Arsenic is the first fully automated, online arsenic analyzer for monitoring drinking water arsenic levels. The online analyzer provides high frequency real-time data on arsenic contaminant levels in thirty minutes with sensitivity down to 1 ppb.

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.

Real-time data and analytical information from online instruments help utilities comply with water quality regulations. The complete article detailing how online water quality instruments are poised for growth was published in the March/April 2015 issue of World Water.
