Aqua Metrology Systems Participates in the 2020 Innovation Showcase at BlueTech Forum: Connect
AMS took part in the June 4, 2020 Virtual Innovation Showcase at the BlueTech Forum: Connect. Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS delivered one of the 11 presentations featured at the forum’s Innovation Showcase. Bacon discussed how the online AMS THM Formation Potential analyzer — THM-100-FP™ — provides utilities and industries with real-time accurate and reliable water quality data that enable them to better manage treatment processes 24/7.
AMS Delivers Real-Time Water Quality Data and Remediation Solutions to California Utilities
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.
Medora Corporation Selects Aqua Metrology Systems for Real-Time Water Quality Data and Predictive Analytics
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.
Aigües de Barcelona, the leading water utility in Spain, has received accreditation to the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Standard for the use of Aqua Metrology Systems’ online THM-100™ analyzer to continuously monitor trihalomethanes (THMs) in their dinking water supply network servicing 3,000,000 million inhabitants across metropolitan Barcelona. In addition to providing the utility with contract compliance and process optimization data, THM readings can now be used to submit regulatory compliance data.
Advanced Water Demonstration Project Incorporates THM-100™
Padre Dam Municipal Water District in Santee, California has installed the THM-100™ online THM monitor from Aqua Metrology Systems to provide real-time data on DBP formation, aid the utility in evaluating their innovative free chlorine disinfection strategy, and ensure the safety of potable reuse water being used produced at their Advanced Water Purification Demonstration Project.
AMS introduces an online accelerated THM Formation Potential Analyzer, the THM-100-FP™, providing real-time predictions of future THM levels in water/wastewater treatment plant distribution networks.
The THM-100™ online monitor provides automated, unattended measurement of THMs. Leading drinking water utilities and engineering groups have come to value the high frequency and reliable data provided by the THM-100; enabling a firm and immediate understanding of THM values so they can better anticipate problems and maintain optimal treatment conditions. The THM-100 is cited as the key element in real-time THM data gathering in three ACE15 technical session presentations.
The City of Birmingham will present Online THM Analyzer Used to Optimize Chlorine Disinfection Process and Minimize DBP Formation in Alabama in the TUE15
Corona Engineering will present High THMs? Strip‘em Away! Full-Scale Demonstration of Two Aeration Strategies for Removal of TTHM from Treated Water in the TUE38
San Jose Water Company and Pax Water Technologies with Utility Services Group will present Energy-Optimized Large-Scale THM Removal: Results from a 12-MG Reservoir, San Jose, California in the TUE38
During ACE15, AMS will also unveil their novel SafeGuard™ online trace metals analyzer for chromium VI and selenium. The SafeGuard analyzers discriminate between selenite (Se4) and total inorganic selenium and chromium-6 and total chromium; providing complete process control to proactively manage, control, mitigate and remediate trace metals contamination.
In a newly released Water Research Foundation (WRF) report, TTHM concentration results from the THM-100™ analyzer yielded excellent results. Throughout the duration of the demonstration testing, results obtained from the AMS THM-100™ analyzer were within ± 10% of laboratory results. In addition to the TTHM concentrations, the individual THM species concentrations also matched very well between the AMS instrument and the laboratory.
Evaluation of the field TTHM analytical instruments demonstrated that these instruments are easy to install and operate, can generate TTHM results quickly, and most importantly accurate and precise.
PAX Water Technologies Unveils In-Tank Aeration Install at San Jose Water Company
Richmond-based PAX Water Technologies and Sunnyvale-based Aqua Metrology Systems today unveiled the installation of an innovative in-tank aeration system at San Jose Water Company. The system, installed by Utility Service Group, is being deployed in a 12 million-gallon water storage tank to maintain high water quality during the drought.
Northern Kentucky Water District to Incorporate an Online THM Analyzer Into Stage 2 DBPR Compliance Strategy
The Northern Kentucky Water District has purchased the online THM-100™ THM analyzer from Aqua Metrology Systems to monitor daily THM levels in their distribution network and further enable optimization of treatment processes used to minimize the formation of THMs in treated water.
