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.

Aigües de Barcelona uses the intelligent THM-100™ monitoring technology to help anticipate water quality issues, implement the necessary control measures, optimize performance, and reduce operational costs. This innovative case study was presented at the SWAN 2018 conference.

AMS delivered a presentation “Data from Online Chromium-6 Analyzer Helps Monitor Performance of Chromium Remediation in Real-time” at the 2017 Groundwater Resources Association (GRA) of California Annual Conference.

In 2014 the Air Force was concerned about possible Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) violations pertaining to total coliform and disinfection by-products at a number of their facilities. On behalf of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) Battelle conducted a demonstration and validation of real time water quality monitoring technologies manufactured by Veolia and Aqua Metrology Systems to develop a comprehensive water monitoring approach to proactively address concerns pertaining to potential SDWA violations. Battelle operated the technologies from May 2015 through August 2016, the instruments proved successful and could be transitioned to broader Air Force use. An overview of the demonstration and validation project has been compiled into a presentation.
