BIOBOX® Nitrate is a cost-effective and sustainable solution to remove nitrates from water. Through a patented technology that biologically transforms nitrates into harmless nitrogen gas, BIOBOX Nitrate eliminates the contaminant without creating toxic waste products. Delivered in either a containerized or full-scale design, this revolutionary biological denitrification technology is a transformative, intelligent and reliable nitrate treatment solution.

As a cost-effective and efficient solution for municipal and industrial users, SafeGuard™ H2O removes inorganics, organics, and metals from water and wastewater. This revolutionary system reduces the need for bulk toxic chemicals.  The fully automated SafeGuard™ H2O technology produces a non-toxic ferrous reagent onsite and on demand using an in-situ electrolytic generator and a certified precursor. It operates on low power electricity from renewable sources.

Watch this insightful interview of Jeff Bower from the Town of Gilbert, AMS CEO Rick Bacon, and BIOBOX Water Director of Operations, Joaquín Murría Martín, about the BIOBOX Nitrate demonstration at the recent Open House in Gilbert, Arizona. They discussed the innovative BIOBOX system’s ability to remove nitrates efficiently with minimal water loss compared to reverse osmosis, which loses about 30% of water and generates contaminating waste. They emphasized the focus on both capital and treatment costs, highlighting BIOBOX Nitrate’s comprehensive solution.

The fully automated SafeGuard™ H2O technology produces a non-toxic stannous reagent onsite and on demand using an in-situ electrolytic generator and a certified precursor. As a cost-effective and efficient solution for municipal and industrial users, SafeGuard™ H2O removes Cr(VI), Fe, H2S, Hg, Pb, and Se from water and wastewater. It also acts as an antibiofilm, antimicrobial reagent for produced water, and as a corrosion inhibitor in distribution networks and cooling systems.

To reduce dependence on imported bulk chemicals, minimize carbon footprint and ensure final effluent discharges are within regulatory limits, wastewater treatment facilities can benefit from the SafeGuard™ H2O phosphate removal system. The novel technology, manufactured by AMS, generates a ferrous/ferric reagent in-situ via an electrolytic process, providing a sustainable and effective approach to phosphate removal. SafeGuard™ H2O has been proven in multiple bench-scale demonstrations to have repeated success removing phosphate.

SafeGuard™ H2O is a proven solution for utilities looking to reduce GHG emissions and remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to non-detect levels while lowering the cost of treatment (energy and operation). SafeGuard™ H2O can be powered by renewable energy, and tin sulfide, a valuable resource to multiple industries, can be recovered from the process. As a low-carbon approach to H2S removal, SafeGuard™ H2O has achieved 100% removal of H2S from reverse osmosis treated water and raw water supplies.

Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, recently visited Joaquín Murría Martín and the BIOBOX team at their facility in Zaragoza, Spain, to see the first BIOBOX® Nitrate being prepared for shipment to the US. BIOBOX Nitrate transforms nitrates in drinking or wastewater into harmless nitrogen gas through a biological process, eliminating nitrates without producing polluting byproducts. This fully automated, turnkey containerized nitrate treatment system integrates AMS’ online Instran™ nitrate analyzer for continuous, real-time control of system performance. The patented BIOBOX biological denitrification system, which is certified by SGS and NSF for the treatment of drinking water, urban or industrial wastewater, and reuse, can be deployed rapidly at the thousands of sites in the US where nitrates put at risk human health and the environment. Together, AMS and BIOBOX are delivering a transformative, intelligent and reliable nitrate treatment solution.

MetalGuard™ Iron is the first fully automated, online iron analyzer that provides dependable real-time data on dissolved, organic and total iron levels to support the delivery of safe drinking water and monitor corrosion in water transport systems. With reliable, continuous, high-frequency data on influent and effluent iron levels, MetalGuard Iron aids in the control and optimization of water treatment and iron contamination removal processes.

Ferric chloride is a water treatment chemical widely used to remove impurities in water and wastewater. While ferric chloride is effective and approved for use in a range of applications, there is a lack of adequate quality controls and certification for this bulk chemical. Ferric chloride contains a range of contaminants, including manganese, chromium, arsenic, zinc, lead, and copper that can be found in high concentrations and can be very harmful to human health. In addition, ferric chloride is an extremely corrosive and potentially hazardous substance that requires it to be handled and stored with care, driving the cost of treatment. In this episode of AMS Talks, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, and Industry Consultant Nadia Abboud discuss the use of ferric chloride as a water treatment chemical, and the need for alternative solutions that do not contaminate our water supply.
