The article “EU Regulation Changes Hones Market for Disinfection By-product Solutions,” featured in the March 2019 issue of Global Water Intelligence (GWI) explores how the proposed regulatory changes and growing global concerns over the effects of disinfection by-products (DBPs) have brought the need for effective DBPs management into focus. AMS CEO Rick Bacon participated in the discussion and stressed the importance of real-time monitoring of THM Formation Potential in the management of all treatment systems for THM remediation.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Aqua Metrology Systems has completed the successful demonstration of their SafeGuard™ H2O proof of concept for the treatment of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) at the City of Los Banos in California. The novel technology generates a stannous ion reagent in-situ via an electrolytic process and also features an online Cr(VI) monitoring analyzer to ensure remediation of Cr(VI) to below 10 ppb.

Aqua Metrology Systems and University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst), have partnered to develop a robust online raw-water trihalomethanes (THMs) -precursor analyzer. On 23 January 2018 they received a commitment from Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) through its AmplifyMass program to cost share in the development and assessment of this new online THM-Precursor analyzer.

HollyFrontier Cheyenne Refining LLC, a subsidiary of HollyFrontier Corp., Dallas, has purchased and installed the MetalGuard™ Selenium online analyzer to measure the wastewater selenium profile at the Cheyenne Refinery, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

AMS appoints Felipe Carvalho as CFO to propel the company’s ambitious growth plans in the United States and abroad. Felipe will lead the company’s fund raising activities aimed at accelerating the growth of the company. Felipe will also play an active role in developing AMS’s international presence.
